Intel's Price Cut Arrives

Intel has cut the prices of some of its desktop and server chips ahead of the official launch of its Nehalem server line.

On the server side two of Intel's Xeon line, the X3220 (2.4GHz) and the X3210 (2.13GHz), have been cut from $198 to $188 per thousand, a reduction of five per cent.

Meanwhile the Core 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33GHz) has fallen 14 per cent from $224 to $193 and the Core 2 Quad Q6600 chip (2.4GHz) has been cut five per cent from $193 to $183. The Core 2 Duo E7300 processor (2.66GH) is down 15 per cent from $133 to $113.

On the desktop front older dual-core Pentiums have also been reduced. The E2200 (2.4GHz) chip is down 12 per cent from $84 to $74, and the E2200 chip (2.2GHz) has been reduced by 14 per cent from $74 to $64.
