Now we would like to make a few comments:
- As we have already mentioned in our news, only the prices of elder desktop CPUs underwent significant reduction. The cost of the younger desktop processors was changed just slightly.
- We have also told you that Intel had significantly cut down the prices of its mobile processors, although there were no serious reasons for a sudden move like that. The only explanation is the launching of AMD mobile Duron processor, though Intel hardly had any causes for concern. Just in case you forgot: mobile Duron consumed too much power that’s why Intel’s solutions looked much more attractive.
- 1GHz Pentium III Xeon was also made cheaper, so that now all these processors are selling for the same price independent of the working frequency: $425. Bearing in mind that they aren’t that popular, this move strikes as really surprising.
- Even though the prices were dropped down quite tangibly, AMD CPUs still remain considerably cheaper than their competitors from Intel.
