The Reg heeft weer goed nieuws, de Pentium 4 is nog steeds niet uit, maar de prijzen zijn wederom verlaagd . De prijs voor de 1,4GHz Pentium 4 is van 652 dollar naar 625 dollar gegaan en de prijs van de 1,5GHz Pentium 4 is van 827 dollar naar 795 dollar gegaan (zoals gebruikelijk dit alles in prijzen per duizend):
Figures leaked to hardware site OC Workbench reveal that the 1.4GHz P4 will now debut at $625, while its big brother 1.5GHz will set you back $795 in 1Ku quantities. Only a couple of weeks ago, Chipzilla was planning to flog the chips at $652 and $827 respectively.
Back in July, the 1.4GHz was priced at $895 and the now-discontinued 1.3GHz was tagged at $795. The demise of the 1.3GHz part, along with the earlier than expected move to 1.7GHz (Q1) and 2GHz (Q2) are strong pointers that P4 yields are now looking pretty healthy.
