Six CPUs involved


Intel will cut the prices of some products on October 19th. Core 2 Quad Q8200 with its 2.33GHz clock will be first on the list and it will drop from $224 to $193.

Superstar Quad -core Q6600, a good old 65nm 2.4GHz CPU with 8MB cache and the most popular quad-core of all time, will drop from its current $193 to $183.

Intel will introduce a new CPU called E7400 with FSB 1066, 2.8GHz clock and 3MB cache and this dual-core will sell from October 19th for $133. At the same time E7300 with FSB 1066, 2.66GHz clock and 3MB cache will drop from current $133 to $113.

Pentium dual-core E2220 with its 2.4GHz dual core clock, 1MB cache and FSB800 will drop from $84 to $74. The last one to get cheaper on this given Sunday is Pentium dual-core E2200 at 2.2GHz dual core clock, 1MB cache and FSB800 will drop from $74 to $64.

Therefore, if you wanted any of these CPUs you better wait for the 19th, and since the 19th is Sunday it's highly likely that you will be able to buy them as of Monday from e-tailers, maybe even from Sunday at these prices.

The next significant price cut is expected on the 30th of November.
