After January 18th, the last price drop, Intel plans to drop the prices of at least two notebook CPUs in Q2 2009. It won’t change the world, but T9600 clocked at 2.8GHz, with 6MB of cache and 1066MHz FSB will drop from current $517 to new $309.
Quad-core Q9000 at 2.0 GHz will stay at its current $340
level, but Core 2 Duo T8700 at 2.53GHz and 3MB cache will drop from $236
to a new $197.
These will be the only mobile adjustment while some serious price
drops can be expected with mobile Nehalems, codenamed Auburndale, but much later
this year, most likely Q4 2009.
