We see a few price drops in this week's Intel charts, with a couple of them reaching double-digits. Unfortunately, the largest price decreases come in on processors that cost so much, that even double-digit cuts barely put a dent in their former prices. A $20 drop, in most cases, is nothing to scoff at. But when it hits a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor that emerges at $999, it's hard to get too excited about it. Overall, although there was more price movement than usual, it's still been a slow week for Intel processor prices.
With little in the way of rumor, let alone news, of exciting new desktop products on the horizon, it's not surprising that AMD and Intel prices have stagnated over the past few weeks. And it seems more and more likely that significant price drops are going to remain a rarity until the two camps get back into their game of high-end desktop one upsmanship.
