Intel to cut P4-2GHz price by a quarter

And, as well as Celeron price drops we reported yesterday, La Intella will take action on other processors during this month, strangely, just like AMD will do.

The Pentium III-Tualatin 1.26 will drop by 20 per cent, while the Pentium III Tualatin 1.2 will drop by 11 per cent this month, but these are not the only drops.

Intel is making way for a number of speed ramps on the Pentium 4 front, with 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz processors slated for this quarter.

More importantly, it appears as if supply of its Pentium 4 flagship processors is rather healthy, judging from an internal report someone showed us in the cardiac recovery ward.

Although Digitimes reported yesterday that supplies of its i845 chipsets are constrained, we understand that this is a deliberate throttling imposed by La Intella, rather than any kind of spanner in the works. µ
