Intel has been enjoying a "phenom"enal (pun intended) lead in the processor market with its Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors and it looks like its only going to get better. In response to AMD's job cuts Intel is going to help them out with a price cut for some of its Core 2 Quad and older processors by up to 50%! Intel plans to drop its Q6700 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad processor from $530 to $266, the similar Xeon will receive the same treatment. Intel also introduced two new Core 2 Duo processors, the 2.83GHz E8300 at $163 and the 2.53GHz E7200 at $133. If your building a budget box Intel also slashed prices on some of its Pentium and Celeron models as they are "older" technology.
