Intel To Slash Prices Up To 60%
Chuan-kai Lin writes "According to Bloomberg, Intel will slash product prices by up to 60% in order to regain market share captured by AMD." From the article: "Intel said it will reduce prices of faster dual-core chips by about 15 percent, according to Alex Lin, a product marketing manager at Micro-Star, Taiwan's third-largest maker of motherboards, which connect electronic parts in computers ... Shares of Intel have fallen 33 percent since Otellini succeeded Craig Barrett in May last year. Advanced Micro's stock has gained 77 percent during the same period. Intel fell 31 cents to $17.08 at 12:06 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. Advanced Micro dropped $1.55, or 5.5 percent, to $26.45 on concerns that Intel will lower prices."
...when the mastermind of al Qaeda in Iraq has been eliminated from the Earth? Where's this nation's priorities?
"Does this mean even cheaper macs are forthcoming?"
What an idiot.
These crappy and burning hot Intel Macs raised in price over the better PPC Macs.
No dummy, this might mean Intel Macs might be a little less expensive.
People dumb enough to pay for an Intel laptop will soon be able to fry their balls for less money!
It will either mean cheaper Macs, or Macs with more features for the same price.
Or another yacht for Steve.
