Intel chip glut may bring holiday cheer to PC buyers
Thinking about what to get that special loved one for Christmas this year? How about a computer system? This holiday season, expect to see a drop of around 10% in PC pricing due to AMD ambitious task to further increase their share in the market, as well as Intel's abundant supply of processors.
Potentially, the situation could lead to promotional prices of $199 for entry-level desktops with an Intel Celeron or AMD Sempron processor, 256MB of RAM, a hard drive with at least 40GB, and Windows Home Edition in the package. The PC would also be bundled with a 17-inch CRT display and, possibly, a printer, Duboise said. Approximately 18 percent of the desktops selling at retail at this moment are priced at less than $500 after rebate, she added.
