Intel lowered prices on both their desktop and mobile lines today...

One of the biggest cuts is on the 560 processor, a 3.60GHz Pentium 4 Prescott with a 800MHz system bus speed. That drops from $637 to $417, although the chip was only launched in July.

There is also a big price drop on the 550, a 3.40GHz 90 nanometre Pentium 4, which falls in price from $417 to $278, while the 540 drops to $218.

The price of the 3.40GHz Extreme Edition with 2MB of Gallatin L3 cache, stays stable at $999.

mmm yeah, i just hope the roadmap i saw the other day is incorrect according to it a 3000+ 939 was the same clockspeed as a 2800+ 754 and same for the 3200 vs 3000.
