Weekly CPU Prices - Week of November 16, 2009 - Page 2

Intel Comments

Most of this week's Intel prices held about as steady than their AMD counterparts. The biggest drop, once again, was a $4 move downward in the price of the Core 2 Quad Q8300, leaving it at its currently tracked price of $165. Another of the prices tracked did experience a large price change, climbing $19 from its previously-tracked price. But most of the others held right where they've been for weeks.

General Comments

While the majority of the prices tracked in this week's guide continued to hold steady, a handful from each camp did inch downward, offering prospective buyers with just a bit more of an incentive to make the leap. And while we'd certainly love to see some more significant price drops, we'll still take what we can get.
