Intel Cuts Chip Prices by up to 53 Percent

Most of the cuts are at the very high end of the line -- it'll be interesting to see what happens to the prices of the competing AMD offerings.
Who cares about Intel, what's AMD going to do to get me into a new processor? 0%APR and no payments for 90 days? You've got yourself a deal, pal!
What is this is Intel being bought by Walmart?
Apple computer INCREASES prices on iMacs by 53%. Take that Wintel!
Intel dispatched a suit and an engineer right away
Huh? Do Intel engineers usually go to work naked?
:)
It would happen literally the *day* after I ordered all the parts for my new computer.
This just ruins the feeling I get from paying significantly less for an Athlon...paying just "substantially less" is far less satisfying.

In other words, you can get an i486-DX2 for $4.24 (a 53% decrease of the previous price of $8)
