Weekly CPU Pricing Guide

Weekly CPU Prices - Week of August 21, 2006 - Page 2

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff August 24, 2006

Intel Comments

While none of the Intel prices we track dropped enough to send anyone rushing to make a purchase, several fell by modestly significant amounts, keeping things interesting for those looking to buy a new Intel processor. Specifically, the Celeron D and Pentium 4 lines displayed very stable pricing trends, but there was some downward movement in the Pentium D and Core 2 areas, including a pair of double-digit price cuts to the Pentium D 920 (2.8 GHz) and Pentium D 930 (3.0 GHz).

General Comments

Significant AMD and Intel CPU price drops remain a rarity in the weekly guide, but the $99 cut to the Athlon 64 FX-60 certainly spiced things up a bit. Some price movement, especially with dual core Intel processors, can nonetheless be found scattered amidst the prices we track and may help would-be buyers make the decision to go ahead and make their purchases.
