Weekly CPU Prices - Week of September 23, 2002 - Page 2

As in the AMD chart, most of the movement in this week's Intel price chart comes as a result of our updating the list of the vendors to include in the guide. Beyond these cases, which resulted in some upward movement in price, there is little of note in this week's Intel chart beyond the addition of a new entry among the XEONs, the 2.6GHz variety of Intel's workstation line of processors.

General Comments

In response to reader concerns and our own research, we've taken another look at the vendor list for our weekly guides. Now the bad news: this has resulted in slightly higher pricing on both AMD and Intel processors, in some cases. By next week, we'll have a better sense of overall pricing trends than is displayed in this week's guide.
