Intel Lowers Prices on CPUs

Though it is mostly for mobile processors. Yesterday Intel published a new price list showing some price cuts of up-to a good 25% on 31 CPU models. The desktop chips that are a notch cheaper are three low-power Haswell-based chips, namely the Core i7-4770R, i5-4670R and i5-4570R, all of them 10% cheaper.

Mobile wise the more high-end quad-cores (i7-4960HQ get a 5% cut, i7-4950HQ 5% and the i7-4850HQ gets a 7% reduction. You can find a full overview of the price reduction in the table below.
