images/news/intel.jpgThe brewing price war between Intel and AMD will continue at least until the end of the summer, when Intel will respond to AMD's most recent round of price cuts with even deeper cuts to the bottom end than previously expected. But Intel may not have to keep cutting prices into the fall, because it looks like AMD has had enough for now.
Taiwanese motherboard makers are telling DigiTimes that Intel's July 22 price cuts are still on track and that the company will keep the pressure on AMD by not ceding even the very lowest end of the market. Intel's bottom-end, Conroe-based Pentium E2140 (1.6GHz) will drop to $64 instead of facing cancellation as had previously been planned. In August, the Pentium E2180 (2GHz) will debut in the previous processor's place at the $74 mark.
