The AMD/Dell embrace may have scared Intel than any of us would have suspected. Lately, all the Wingeeks have been in love with AMD as well. Rather than let that train careen even more out of control, they’re taking steps to compete by reducing prices on their current offerings.
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. Intel also told him that it plans to lower Pentium prices by 60 percent.
The first question that pops to mind as a Mac is: will this have a positive effect upon Apple’s pricing? Dimes to donuts, that’s answer is no.
