News in the street is that Intel planning some price cuts on few desktop and mobile processors. Thou the cuts are pretty hefty its only for just a few. But you’d expect for a pretty intensive pricing planing for the chip maker’s 1333MHz FSB chips.

The high end 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600 can now be purchase for just $266 thats around 50% down from $530. While the other price cuts are little tiny then we desired well i guess you can’t have everything.

The Core 2 Duo E4400’s gets a measly 15% reduction to $113, the Pentium E2140’s from $74 to $7, the Celeron D 347 now costs just $34 thats around 13% while the Celeron M 520 and 530 are priced 20% less at $86 and $107, respectively . The $134 1.86GHz Celeron M 540 at and the 2GHz Core 2 Duo E4500 minus a dollar to $133. Intel thou has made the mark on there 1333MHz FSB Core 2 Duo E6×50 chips making them priced comparably to the 1066MHz FSB Core 2 Duo E6×00 chips.
