Via BxBoards kwam ik bij de site van Forbes Magazine terecht (een groot zakenblad) waar ze een artikeltje hebben over de komende Intel prijsverlagingen.
Om met AMD te concurreren gaat de prijs van een PIII 500 omlaag van $ 435 naar $ 265. Dat is bijna 40%!!!
Come August, Intel is going to launch the next salvo, this time targeting AMD’s next hot chip, the K-7, also known as "Athlon." Sources familiar with Intel say that by mid-August the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant will slash the price on its 500 MHz Pentium III chip to about $265 a chip. At present the Pentium III 500 MHz chip is trading at $435 a chip in the open market, down from an all-time high of $745 a chip, according to American IC Exchange, a semiconductor exchange. The prices for the slower Pentium IIIs will fall even further, according to sources familiar with Intel. [break]Ook hebben ze nog een stukje over DRAM-prijzen, die na 3 weken stabiliteit weer hard omlaag gaan[/break] DRAM trading in the open market is vigorous, memory chip traders say. According to Paul Meyers, who trades DRAM chips at the American IC Exchange, the prices of 64 Meg PC 100 (8x8 configuration) DRAM chips are now touching $5.60 per 8 megabits. As recently as last week the prices had inched up to $6.25 per 8 megabits, from their 1999 lows of $4 per 8 megabits.
