Intel Procs Price Down
The sub-$200 quad-core era has finally arrived to Intel’s Santa Clara HQ as the company’s latest round of price cuts has seen the 1000 tray unit cost of the 65nm-built Core 2 Quad Q6600 drop 14%, from $224 to $193. In addition to making its most popular quad-core CPU cheaper, Intel has also slashed the prices of three 45nm dual-cores, the E8500, E8400 and E7200.
The 3.16 GHz-clocked Core 2 Duo E8500 has seen its price tag go down 31%, from $266 to $183 so as to leave room for the 3.33 GHz E8600 while the E8400 and E7200 went down 11% and 15% to settle at $163 and $113 respectively.
Interestingly enough, Intel’s documents don’t mention the E8600 or the Q9650 although they have being to appear in stores.

Core 2 Dual E7300 2.66 3MB 1066 495
Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00 6MB 1333 590
Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 6MB 1333 655
Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 6MB 1333 920
Quad Core Q6600 2.40 8MB 1066 680
But don’t expect to see price cut anywhere in Dungun. As we all know electricity bills in dungun is much much higher than those living in other states. Every pendaflour lights count.
