Cuts Core 2 Quad and Xeon chips prices in half as it moves to clear out 65nm processors. Intel Corp. is slashing the price of some of its processors up to 50%, a slap in the face to rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc., long known as the low-price alternative in the chip market.
Intel announced on its Web site yesterday that it had cut the price of about a dozen processors. Patrick Ward, a spokesman for Intel, noted that most of the processors on the price-cut list were built on 65 nanometer technology, which Intel is phasing out in favor of its new 45nm chips. It's akin to car dealers cutting the prices on last year's models to make room for the latest ones.
