Weekly CPU Pricing Guide

Weekly CPU Prices - Week of March 29, 2004 - Page 2

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff April 1, 2004

Intel Comments

Once again, there's not a whole heck of a lot of movement in this week's Intel charts, with most Pentium 4 and Celeron prices either holding steady or inching upwards. The biggest drop, in fact, is a whopping $4 cut to the price of the Pentium 4-3.2C GHz, which is nothing that's going to make anyone rush online to make a purchase.

General Comments

Week after week, it becomes more and more clear that our CPU Price Guides are going to be uneventful until one of the AMD or Intel camps decides to step up the competition with the other. New processor releases are part of this, but we seem to be at a real impasse concerning high-end availability and its impact on prices of the lower-speed models. Hopefully, once Intel gets their Pentium 4 Prescott numbers up, and AMD releases Socket 939, we'll see some real action.
