De verkopen op de processor markt bleven volgens SSB erg laag in januari. Ondanks de goede bedoelingen van Intel lijken hun prijsverlagingen daar weinig verandering in te brengen. De recent geïntroduceerde 1,3GHz Pentium 4 en Celeron 800 waren bovendien slecht leverbaar:
Following Intel's (INTC-$36, 2M) price move last weekend, the average gray market discount to list price narrowed from 13% to 3%. For Pentium IIIs, where the price cuts were largely limited to the higher speed versions, the discount to list dropped from 16% to 6%. The recently introduced P4-1.3GHz and the Celeron 800 MHz remain in short supply and are trading at a premium to the list price. Intel's hope is that the latest round of price cuts will stimulate demand, but in talking with motherboard suppliers and PC OEMs, general sales remain pretty weak and the Pentium 4 in particular has been pretty disappointing. In fairness, however, Intel has yet to really push that product to consumers. AMD# (AMD-$24, 2S) processor prices remained flat for the third week in a row. Trade press reports suggest AMD will debut a 900MHz Duron and at least one, and possibly two higher-speed versions of the Athlon processor in the first half of February.
Zoals je ziet heeft Tweakers.net vanaf vandaag voor het eerst de PC100 en PC133 geheugenprijzen van het complete afgelopen jaar in beeld.
