Releasing a new CPU is always good for consumers. It pushes the current CPUs to new low prices. Prices are dropping and I'm eyeing either a 2.4 P4 or 2400+ Athlon. Good times.

Intel is set to revise the price of its 400/533MHz FSB (front-side bus)-supporting 3GHz Pentium 4 processor down to US$401 when it introduces its 800MHz FSB-version product. Later next month, when it launches 800MHz FSB 2.8 and 2.6GHz processors, Intel will also lower prices of the respective 533MHz versions to US$262 and US$193.

AMD is planning to cut prices on its Athlon XP processors, ranging from the Athlon XP 2000+ to Athlon XP 3000+, at the same time it introduces its new 64-bit K8-core Opteron processors on April 22, according to local distributors. The greatest price cut is expected to be seen in the Athlon XP 3000+, exceeding 30%.
