We have learned that Intel plans to adjust its prices after it lunches its Pentium dual-core E5400 CPU. This CPU clocked at 2.7GHz with FSB 800 and 2MB cache will launch on January 18th and it will cost $84 at launch.

This announcement will also mean that Pentium dual-core E5300 CPU clocked at 2.6GHz with FSB 800 and 2MB cache launched on the 30th of November will drop from $86 to $74.

Last one affected with this small price adjustment will be the Pentium dual-core E5200 CPU clocked at 2.5GHz with FSB 800 and 2MB cache that will drop from current $84 to $64.

At the same time Core 2 Duo E7500 will debut with 2.93GHz, FSB 1066 and 3MB of cache for $133, and this will directly affect the E7400 2.8GHz CPU with the same spec, as it will drop from the current $133 to $113.

This definitely means that you should look forward to January 18th, at least if you want to buy some of these CPUs of 45nm quad-cores.
