It's been another slow week for Intel CPU prices, with very little movement at all and none dropping by more than a few dollars. The new Celeron D models were the most active Intel processors this week, which isn't exactly good news. The nominal price cuts to the LGA775 processors have also stopped, with the 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 560 showing the only price drop, while some of the other models actually increased slightly. Until we start seeing new product introductions from Intel, it's not likely that the status quo is going to change anytime soon.
Even the bit of AMD price-cutting excitement we had in last week's guide is noticeably absent from this week's edition, while Intel kept to their strategy of virtual price stability. This scenario is likely going to continue playing out, at least until the AMD and Intel camps start doing something to renew competition for the desktop performance crown.
