[news] Intel baja los precios de los micros.

Intel Pentium 4 3.20GHz processor is anticipated to have its price cut by about 35%, from $637 to $417. The values of the Pentium 4 3.06GHz and Pentium 4 3.00GHz processors will also loose about 35% and will be at $262 and $278 points respectively. At the same time, Intel Pentium 4 2.80GHz will cost $218 after the 26th of October, a 22% less than the present price cost of $278. There is no information about AMD's price-cuts, but given that its Athlon 64 3200+ now competes with the Pentium 4 3.20GHz, there is no point to keep the pricing of the Athlon XP 3200+ up, but to set it fight Intel's Pentium 4 3.00GHz and 2.80GHz at well below $400. In general, Athlon XP 3200+ processor at its $464 price-point does not provide enough benefits for customers, who may prefer the cheaper - $417 - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ that has higher performance in a lot of applications as well as 64-bit extensions.
