Weekly CPU Pricing Guide

Weekly CPU Prices - Week of March 17, 2003 - Page 2

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 19, 2003

Intel Comments

The only noticeable Intel CPU price drops we see in this week's chart came in on the OEM and retail versions of the Pentium 4-2.8 GHz, which fell by $10 and $7, respectively. Beyond that, it's been a pretty much dead week for Intel prices, especially with entry-level Celeron and mid-range Pentium 4 models.

General Comments

This is one of those weeks where there just isn't much to get excited about anywhere in the guide. With the largest price drop in the guide amounting to only $10, and most prices either holding steady or fluctuating by only a few dollars up or down, it's unlikely that anything you see in this week's guide is going to do much to influence your decision of whether or not now is a good time to buy. Overall value is still high, but there was virtually no benefit in sticking out the last seven days.
