It looks like Intel’s pricing on their lower-end quad-core processors will be reportedly going down on January 18th. This comes in the wake of AMD’s latest 45-nm Phenom II and Shanghai Opteron chips.
AMD’s newest quad-core beast, the Phenom II Dragon processor has been garnering some pretty high acclaim as of late. Its even being featured in servers by Hewlett-Packard, Sun, Dell, IBM and Fujitsu.
The cuts are expected to be on only the quad-core processors, but it’s still very much a possibility that other chips could receive cuts.
