Intel to slash prices for quad-core server processors in July
Intel plans to slash prices 40-60% for quad-core server processors in order to achieve its shipment goal and to foil competition from AMD’s upcoming launch of its Barcelona series CPUs, according to industry sources. Looks like this summer will be a perfect time to get into quad-core processing!
Intel will cut the prices for one-way server Kentsfield processors on July 22 along with price reductions for desktop processors, while two-way server Clovertown processors will see prices slashed at the end of July, the sources said. The Kentsfield Xeon X3210 and X3220 will have their prices cut to US$224 and US$266 respectively, while prices for the Clovertown Xeon E5310, E5320, E5335, E5345, and X5355 will go down to US$209, US$256, US$316, US$455, and US$744 respectively, the sources said.
