Just one day before September, Intel unveils some price adjustments to their processors and also introduces some new CPU models. As you can see, the most recognizable name in the table is the Core i7 950 which now costs $294 instead of its previous price at $562.
Nonetheless, it’s a very good price tag for such a quad core processor up to 3.06 GHz frequency and also using HyperThreading technology. Apart from this one, there are lots of low-end processors at affordable prices. Last but not least, there are two Xeon beasts called W3670 and W3550 respectively.
The first one is a new model priced at oh-so high $885, but the last one called W3550 is an old friend, now priced about 100 bucks less.
