We received a word about Intel’s intention to introduce considerable changes to the prices on both elder Pentium III models (that is a widely known idea, actually) as well as on mobile processors (i.e. where Intel doesn’t need to worry, because it’s positions in this sector and the CPU pricing look quite promising). Let’s have a look at a chart of the expected prices (for 1000-unit quantities) on Intel’s mobile CPUs that will be valid starting with 29 January:
| CPU | Old Price | New Price | Lowering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile Pentium III 850MHz | $722 | $508 | 29.6% |
| Mobile Pentium III 800MHz | $508 | $342 | 32.7% |
| Mobile Pentium III 750MHz | $401 | $268 | 33.2% |
| Mobile Celeron 700MHz | $181 | $123 | 32% |
| Mobile Celeron 650MHz | $134 | $96 | 28.4% |
| Mobile Celeron 600MHz | $96 | $75 | 21.9% |
