Recent reduction in the prices of Intel processors , and the declaration about removal from production of two dual core processors Pentium D with the frequency of 3.0 GHz, confused some potential buyers: why, until now, on the market there is no processor Pentium D 925 (3.0 GHz)?
First, overclocker hardly would think about such processor: for $133 it is possible to purchase processor Pentium D 915 (2.8 GHz), which without problems will drive to 3.0 GHz anf higher. Yes, this last cpu does not support technology EIST, but many overclocker disconnect its in any case.
In the second place, processor Pentium D 925 (3.0 GHz) will soon appeare on the market, since the cleaning in numbers of the old models Pentium D is already produced. As report associates , the announcement of processor Pentium D 925 consists on 1 October, 2006. Judging by everything, it will cost $133, and model Pentium D 915 (2.8 GHz) at this time will fall in price to $113.
By the way, Intel completely did not await until October - 0.065 m processor Celeron D 360 (3.46 GHz) to show the new steppinge D0 witch will be availble on 27 August. During October the prices of processors Celeron D will be lowered. Making as a debut the value of $84, processor Celeron D 360 after a pair of months will fall in price to $74. Possibly, the price of low-end models Celeron D at the end of October will get below $34-39. However, Intel can with the equal probability can abolish these lowest-end models, and will propose on their price more productive processors. Under the conditions of the price war with AMD further reduction in the cost of the low-end processors Celeron D is completely possible.
Finally processors with architecture NetBurst will be removed from production only at the end of 2007, and to those times necessarily it will be present on the market . Simultaneously Intel will start working in Conroe processors , in first half of the following year will appeare budget versions of processors on this core, relating to class Celeron D.
