As expected, Intel Corporation today published updated price list with lowered prices of desktop Intel Celeron processors. The updates are pretty moderate since the prices were decreased by just 6-14%.
Intel Celeron Current Official Pricing | |||
CPU Model | Old Price | Reduction | New Price |
Celeron 2.60GHz | $103 | 14% | $89 |
Celeron 2.60GHz | $89 | 7% | $83 |
Celeron 2.40GHz | $84 | 6% | $79 |
Celeron 2.30GHz | $79 | - | $79 |
Celeron 2.20GHz | $74 | 7% | $69 |
Celeron 2.10GHz | $74 | 7% | $69 |
Intel Corporation is expected to release its 2.70GHz Celeron processor shortly at $103. As always, every price drop or every new model in the Celeron family of CPUs hits AMD's Athlon XP processors, as the Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker does not currently have lower-end CPU lineup and its AMD Athlon XP devices have to compete both against Pentium 4 in terms of speed as well as against Celeron in terms of pricing. As a consequence, AMD has to constantly lower prices of its chips.
