In the third quarter this year intel will lower the prices of 45 nm processors desktop class, will remove some 65 nm model, and it will also present four new processors. In the third quarter will appear the four core processor core 2 Quad q9650 (3.0 GHz) and dual core processor core 2 Duo e8600 (3.33 GHz). They will appear on the price positions $530 and $266 .
