Comments on: Intel cuts quad-core price by 50 percent

Chipmaker slashes the prices on other processors by 12 percent to 31 percent and introduces four new models.

The giant companies like AMD and Intel will continue their dogfight, competing on processor speed and price, but a lot of the profits might be coming from more niche markets where design and creativity are more important than brute speed and price. I think that some of the most interesting (and profitable) products will be coming from slightly smaller, fabless, companies that are focused on consumer products and mobile devices.

by CascadeHush April 22, 2008 9:36 PM PDT: The definitive article is missing from the headline - it should read "Intel cuts a quad-core price by 50 percent" at least that is what it means for most users. One superseded model of their desktop quad-cores has been now been discontinued.

So what, this happens all the time.

It may be a bargain for the few people who manage to snap one up. But i'd rather have a newer CPU.; Like this Reply to this comment
