Possible Intel Price Cuts
Looks like Intel really wants to push out those Pentium4 processors with potential huge price cuts in a few weeks, up to 40-60%. This will happen when Intel releases the 1.7Ghz Pentium4 in 2 weeks. Around early May the 1.5GHz part will be about $256 and the 1.4GHz P4 about $193. Since this places them around Pentium3 prices, it's likely those CPUs will drop in price as well.
