Intel has officially announced the January price reductions for its Core 2 processors. Below are all processors that have their prices changed after January 18th. For the full list of Intel processors and their MSRPs, please click here.
ShadowFoldWhy make it cheaper? They don't have any competition. The Phenom II's are competing with the Core2 CPU's.
To deplete there stocks, they want to ramp up production of there I series, and they cant do this while there are still truckloads of Socket 775 stuff glogging there inventory.

Much of their manufacturing is probably in countries that have slipped with exchange rate against the US dollar. This makes them cheaper in USD for Intel.
For the countries that have had exchange rate losses (most), these changes may delay the price rises we are expecting.

If you were to pay attention, we were talking about the i7's, not the C2D's.

he only said "they want to ramp the production of their I series" meaning i7, and to do that they need to get rid of the C2D.... stop picking on people and learn to read

I beg your pardon, sir. I did not mean that as an insult.
He was clearly talking about the 775 price drops, talking about ramping up production of the i-series in correlation with that. Where as, we were talking about i7 price drops.
From what I understood, REVHEAD is saying the socket 775/Core 2 price drop is encouraging production to continue, however he feels that production for socket 775/Core 2 should slow down to make way for the i7 platforms.
Perhaps the Core 2 price drop will allow Intel to sell their unwanted stock in Core 2 products that are sitting in the warehouse loosing money by the second, once the stock has been sold they can concentrate on the i7.

There was nothing wrong with that suggestion :)
Right, except for relevance, according to my view back then.
See, I thought he said that they were selling the older generation CPU's for cheap in order to deplete their current stocks of it, and thus make enough money to wheel the production of I-series CPU's. While not rel relevant, it's still interesting, and of course no insult was meant as such.
pretty sure that isnt a reduction and more than 5%
Oh will you people stop? It's already been pointed out and I'm sure Malware will see it and correct it as soon as he's done doing whatever important task we all know he's doing.

I actually didn't see someone already posted about it before me.:shadedshu
