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.

Re:and i'd just bought an athlon!

You sir, are a imbecile. Not only has this topic LONG passed by the public eye (which begs the question, what rock were you under) but you are also more than 100% in correct. a) they do not market the 1800+ as an 1800Mhz CPU, nowhere have I seen "Mhz" applied to it. You assumed in-correctly. b) as has been stated before (but in case you miss ed it, here it is again) the P4 pipeline is MUCH longer than the Athlons, so for instance my 1.6 Athlon XP when compared to a nearly IDENTICAL system running a P4 running at 2.2 the Athlon comes in VERY close (would TIE a P4 @ 2.1Ghz). And yes, I have tested this myself, the P4 machine is actually sitting about 6 feet away from me as we speak. Inform yourself before you buy OR post!
