As with the AMD price list, this week's Intel processor chart contains only one significant drop: a $34 cut to the price of a 3.2GHz Pentium 840 Extreme Edition. The enthusiast crowd may cheer, but this still leaves Intel's top processor sitting at over $1,000, and well out of the price range of many. The rest of the Intel price list is almost devoid of any other price drops, and even the sometimes-volatile Pentium 4 6xx and Pentium D lines remain stable this week.
Neither of the major sections of the guide contains much in the way of CPU price movement. We get one noteworthy drop on both the AMD and Intel sides, in fact, with the rest of the processors in the guide either holding steady or even inching upwards in price. At this point, it seems likely that the two camps are going to have to deliver some new products -especially in terms of dual core models- before prices really start moving again.
