Yesterday Intel cut prices on four desktop CPUs: the Core 2 Quad Q6600, Core 2 Duo E8500, E8400, and E7200.
The biggest cut by far went to the E8500, which went from $266 to $183, a reduction of 31%. Intel's entry-level quad-core CPU, the Q6600, saw its price trimmed 14% to $193 (from $224). And finally, the E8400 is now priced t $163 (from $183) and the E7200 is now priced at $113 (from $133). Besides the desktop CPUs, Intel also reduced prices on three midrange Xeon CPUs, including the X3220 ($198), X3210 ($198), and E3110 ($167).
As always keep in mind that these prices reflect Intel's tray pricing in quantities of 1,000, not retail prices. Tray pricing is generally a little lower than the retail price for many Intel CPUs.
