De al eerder aangekondigde prijswijzigingen van Intel desktopprocessors voor deze maand, zijn volgens X Bit Labs nu een feit. AMD heeft inmiddels de Athlon XP 3200+ officieel uitgebracht, en in afwachting van de officiële komst van nieuwe Intel Pentium 4 processors met een 800MHz FSB en HyperThreading en de i865 SPringdale-chipsets rond 21 mei, gaat Intel de 400MHz- en 533MHz FSB-modellen alvast aantrekkelijker prijzen, om zo de voorraden af te bouwen. X-Bit plaatst de Athlon-prijzen ter vergelijking naast de Pentium 4 en Celeron-processors van Intel, en zij krijgen daarin van ons navolging in onderstaande tabellen. X-Bit viel het op dat Intel zijn prijzen wat vaker bijstelt dan vroeger, en herinnert ons nog maar eens even aan de aanstaande Pentium processors:
I would like to stress your attention on the fact that Intel now corrects its desktop CPU pricing not once in quarter as it did in the past, but more often. For instance, the company cut its prices on Celeron family of microprocessors on the 28th of April (see this news-story) and reportedly plans to put them down once again after introduction of two new models on the 25th of June (see this news-story), it reconsidered Pentium 4 3.06GHz pricing on the 21st of April (see this news-story) and now it cuts the prices on the Pentium 4 2.60, 2.66 and 2.80GHz CPUs by 20%, 20% and 30% respectively.
Remember that on the 21st of May 2003 Intel launches its Pentium 4 2.80C, 2.60C and 2.40C processors with 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus and the Hyper-Threading technology support for $278, $218 and $178 respectively. These chips will definitely offer a nice performance boost over the current processors, so, all hardware enthusiasts are waiting for them rather than running to a store in order to acquire today's Pentium 4 CPUs.
