Intel slashes the price of desktop, laptop, and server processors
By
The world’s largest chip maker slashed prices on a handful of microprocessors after the company’s battle to retake market share from rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) took a turn for the worse.
Intel appears to have undertaken some precision cutting in this round, re-pricing chips likely to catch attention, such as a quad-core microprocessor aimed at desktop PCs. The company slashed the price of the Q6600, a Core 2 Quad processor that runs at 2.4GHz, to $266, down 50 percent, according to a new price list on Intel’s Web site dated July 22.
