Weekly CPU Prices - Week of October 19, 2009 - Page 2

Intel Comments

Unfortunately, this week's Intel prices held far steadier than their AMD counterparts, with only two of the prices we track falling at all from last week's prices. The bigger of those, furthermore, was a paltry $7 drop in the tracked price of the Celeron E1600.

General Comments

After weeks of guides with little, if any, downward price movement, readers should be pleased to find that this week's edition contain several price drops, a handful of which fell by some fairly significant amounts. So far, the noteworthy drops have been entirely on the prices of AMD processors; but hopefully the coming weeks will show Intel responding in kind.
