Huge Processor Price Cuts Coming - AMD and Intel

Okay, revising the thread a bit as I feel there's no need for two seperate threads on both Intel and AMD price cuts.

I've got semi official information on a Intel price cut coming on the 23rd and then there's a AMD price cut following very close on the 24th.

Intel prices look like the following:

Code:
dual core
P4D 960 3.6GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $316
P4D 950 3.4GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $224
P4D 945 3.4GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $163
P4D 940 3.2GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $183
P4D 930 3.0GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $178
P4D 920 2.8GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $178
P4D 915 2.8GHz / 800MHz 2x2MB $133
P4D 820 2.8GHz / 800MHz 2x1MB $113
P4D 805 2.66GHz / 533MHz 2x1MB $93

single core (6x1 = 65nm parts)
P4 661 3.6GHz / 800MHz 2MB $183
P4 651 3.4GHz / 800MHz 2MB $163
P4 641 3.2GHz / 800MHz 2MB $163
P4 631 3.0GHz / 800MHz 2MB $163
P4 541 3.2GHz / 800MHz 1MB $84
P4 531 3.0GHz / 800MHz 1MB $74
P4 524 3.06GHz / 533MHz 1MB $69

Celeron 356 3.33GHz / 533MHz 512KB $74
Celeron 352 3.2GHz / 533MHz 512KB $69
The AMD price cuts are a bit harder to get information about at this time. The only price I see showing up is about the upcoming A64 X2 3600+ which is suppose to debut at a rock bottom price of around $139. That's one heck of a deal. From what I gather the 3600+ is a 2Ghz part with only 256kb cache for each core, that's half the cache of its brother the 3800+.

Also, news on Core 2 pricing is expecting the top Conroe to be around $1K each and for the lowest end model to be around $190. I'm very curious on the lowest end model and what kind of performance its packing.
