I have to disagree about these reductions being "uninteresting". A lot of upgraders will want to move to a Core 2 at an affordable price. I'm on an X2 4400+ for instance so you can see the logic on going to a Q6600 ($183+markup) and perhaps doing some mild overclocking.

Well,that sums up 98% of computer owners and 99% of IT journalists .

re. all the processors no-one with an interest in technology would ever buy 

Intel is cutting prices on the CPU that are sold mostly by OEM, who also tend to be the biggest buyers of their CPUs. This is a move to liquidate inventory of their most produced and most purchased chips.

Intel is a company who wants to make money, and most of there money is made via retail sales of companies like HP, Dell ect. and by sales of servers


all the processors no-one with an interest in technology would ever buy



A JOKE
