Intel drops Pentium 4 power a lot
Pentium D's going from 130W to 95W, and Pentium 4's going from 86W to 65W.

They have a ton of previous P4's and PD's to get rid of in their inventory, and those they are likely going to have to write off. Yousuf Khan |

They have a ton of previous P4's and PD's to get rid of in their inventory, and those they are likely going to have to write off. i hadn't thought of that i revise my "tough stuff" to VERY tough stuff but i somehow doubt that previous P4's will be written off; but i could be wrong given what is going on OTOH and having slept on it, i'm guessing that this won't much affect server CPU prices the reason for newegg's price drop on Opty 940 CPUs (this past week) looks like their (AMD) intro of AMD Santa Ana and Santa Rosa, which weren't there on my capture of newegg's August 8 Opty prices per chrisv's input, www.sandpile.org is a terrific ref on current architecture, under the "impl" heading bill |

S'always possible there's somebody out there who thinks Netburst is just the ticket... hmm, well maybe not!;-) -- Rgds, George Macdonald |

Santa Ana is Opteron with socket AM2 Santa Rosa is Opteron with socket F both appear to be strictly dual core. at least, Newegg isn't showing any quad core Opteron CPUs bill |

From all points, netburst is looking like exactly everyone said it was when it first came out, a mistake. A big one at that, considering how much Intel has lost to AMD durring the reign of netburst.

It's not like the Core 2's are hideously expensive, either. Good thing most buyers are clueless, or the demand for the Core 2 would so far out-strip the supply that getting one would be nearly impossible. |

... Once Core 2 starts getting sold in any great numbers who is going to want to buy the P4's? Anybody who wants to build computers. It will take about all of Intel's and AMD's production capacity to meet the total number of PCs to be built and sold this year (any 12 month period you'd care to name, for instance starting now). Since Intel cannot produce all Core 2 CPUs at this time, the only way the total market demand can be met is for people to buy P4s, since that's what Intel will have available to sell. The alternative is for everybody to not build PCs and let the market demand be ignored. Yeh, like that's gonna happen! ;-) |
