Intel 65nm Prices down!! Q6700-266$

[zCexVe]

If you guys can recall ,I have posted earlier that there will be 65nm price cuts on April 20,Also few CPU releases and price changes in new CPUs.Well Today is the day and Intel haven't broken our hearts .

Intel slashed today the prices of its 65nm Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad Q6600/Q6700 Kentsfield processors. The tray price of the Q6600, which has been the universal quad-core in Intel’s line-up for more than a year, was dropped 16% from $266 to $224. More important than the Q6600 drop, Q6700 which had a tray price of $530 now costs $266 - almost 50% cheaper.
Other price reductions include the 65nm, 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo E6850 (-31% to $183), which now matches the price of the 45nm E8400 (3.0GHz) as well as the Pentium E2200 (-12% to $74), the E2180 (-14% to $64), the Celeron 560 (-20% to $107), the Celeron 550 (-20% to $86), the Celeron 440 (-17% to $44) and the Celeron 430 (-23% to $34).

My close friends say the price cuts will affect Sri Lankan market on mid of May starting for the low end Celeron 430 which is now 4600 Rs. So homies get a new CPU in June

Magulak katha karanava The best Phenom can't beat a Q6600. AMD just don't have enough power to beat the conroes and penryns.Thats why they are aiming the Intels next CPU generation.I accept that AMDs are cheaper,but it never affected the CPU sales of Intel and never will until nxt CPU generation from AMD.
