When is the next Intel cpu price drop?

For which chip? Intel no longer has single big price drops, but they
will occasionally reduce the price of some of their processors from
time to time. You don't see nearly the effect at the retail level
that you used to though. Here's a link to some Intel roadmap/pricing
info (some of which may not be 100% accurate) from The Inquirer:

When Prescott comes out, there should be a nice drop in the current
chips...

That's not due out 'til 2004 though. I just found this though at the
Inquirer so it looks like next month we should see a price drop
besides the one when Prescott is released.

I'm not convinced that the paragraph below justifies the statement you
made above. Introduce and substitute are two different things. Got a
link?

WHILE THE NEXT MAJOR desktop price revision for Pentium 4s comes on
October the 26th, as we've detailed before, there will be a major
price shift again in February next year as Intel begins to substitute
the current Northwood generation of chips to Prescott.

Nope, Prescott comes out on October 26th, but only at 3.2 and 3.4GHz
(or something similar to that). It won't start replacing the slower
speed Northwoods (probably down to about 2.8GHz, maybe even 2.6GHz)
for some time though. The initial run of Prescott chips will only be
high-speed models.

This clearly shows Prescott 3.2 coming out Oct 26, making you wrong.

I don't know why you are poking your nose up my ass but I said that

Because, dorky, you claimed that Prescott is "not due out 'til 2004",
and when I asked for a link supporting your claim, you provided,
without comment, a link that did NOT support your claim.

A retraction of what you said would have been appropriate.

You can wait yourself to death. I've seen people not buy until the next
price drop, until they have waited YEARS!, just decide what you want and buy
it! It will keep going down, just don't look at it anymore and enjoy your
new processor!
Price drops will continue to occur forever, how long will you wait?

I can wait one month. Once I thought like you and ordered a cpu on a
Friday and it cost me $900.00 CAD, on Monday there was an Intel price
drop and it went down to $500.50 CAD. Luckily the company I bought it
from where good enough to give it to me at the new price and refund my
credit card. If I had been paying attention to the market and Intel's
road map then that would never have happened. A fool and his money are
soon parted.

Note that you aren't going to see ANYTHING like that price drop these
days. Usually you can expect about a 5% reduction in retail price
around the time that Intel lower's their prices. If you are lucky,
you might see a 10-15% drop, but that's about it. The market has
changed considerably in the past 4 years or so (basically since AMD
brought out the Athlon).

Aw, poor cwissy took his toys away and don't want to play no more.

Perhaps you'd like to hang around the group for a while before
you judge who the idiots are? "cwissy" has been around for quite
some time, and as such has far more credibility than
"mybrainhurts" does.
