Intel Says No Special Pricing for China
Intel Corp. Wednesday dismissed reports it plans to change its pricing policy and set different prices for processors sold in China. The new processor packaging, in Chinese, will be introduced on June 20 with boxed versions of the Pentium Dual-Core E2160 and E2140, which run at clock speeds of 1.8GHz and 1.6GHz, respectively. Both chips have 1M byte of on-chip cache and will feature the same price as the English boxed versions.
Zhang said reports of a pricing change in China stemmed from a misunderstanding over an announcement that Intel will use new packaging for boxed processors sold in China. Previously, Intel sold boxed processors in China with English-language packaging. Boxed processors are sold to consumers, generally to be used inside home-built PCs.
