How much is the Pentium 4 / Mobile Pentium 4 (another price cut)

While our respectable readers unhurriedly discusses advantages and drawbacks of Pentium 4 Prescott´s 31-stage pipeline in various forums, some more practical individuals search for price lists naturally expecting a price cut.

Well, Intel officially reduced prices not only for desktop Pentium 4, but also for Mobile Pentium 4 series. prices for the new Prescott are worth a separate mention: even the most powerful 3.4E GHz Pentium 4 should cost just $417 in over 1,000-unit quantities (though we´ll have to wait for it some time). Remembering prices for early 800MHz FSB chips, I can hardly believe that Pentium 4 Prescott 2.8E costs just $178 (same quantities).

Prices for Northwood models were cut as well. I think that setting prices for Prescott and Northwood solutions alike, Intel tried to stress the fastest transition to making 90nm shipments primary. Values below stand for over 1,000-unit quantities as well.
