Default Do you happen to know Intel roadmap for CPUs?

What's coming for Intel CPUs? When will Intel cut price on
current ones?

I want to get P4 3.0Ghz but it's too expensive. From what
shows at www.pricewatch.com, it's only $19 difference
jumping from P4 2.0 to P4 2.4 800. But then it's $46 to
jump from 2.4Ghz to 2.6Ghz, $49 to jump from 2.6Ghz to
2.8Ghz, and $130 to jump from 2.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz. I'm more
willing to buy the 3.0Ghz at about $150;-)

---

$394 - Pentium 4 3.0GHz 800
$264 - Pentium 4 2.8GHz 800
$215 Pentium 4 2.6GHz 800
$169 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 800
$159 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 400
$153 - Pentium 4 2.2GHz 400
$150 - Pentium 4 2.0GHz Sock 478
$112 - Pentium 4 2.0GHz

If you have around $165 to spend for a processor, then go for
an Athlon XP2800+ 333 instead. An Athlon XP3000+ 400
at only around $260 is a good deal.

Well of course we'd all like to spend less, for the fastest CPU :-).

The 2.4GHz is at a nice price-point now... Eventually the 3.0GHz will
be cheaper, but then of course we'd all like that next-faster CPU for
cheaper too, it's all relative to the timing... The odds are that you
won't be able to notice the difference in use between a 2.4Ghz and the
3.0GHz, and if it's any consolation, if you use good memory you'd
probably be able to overclock the 2.4GHz to a performance level
exceeding that possible with the 3.0GHz. I mean, the max possible
performance you could squeeze out of a system, would be higher with
the 2.4GHz, due to it being able to use a higher clocked FSB since it
has a fixed multiplier. Regardless, if you run a processor a "notch"
below it's ceiling speed, it'll be less sensitive to heat, so you
could use a quieter cooler. So all in all the 2.4GHz isn't such a bad
choice.

Not really, as an Athlon XP2600+ 333 is only around $100 for the
retail box with heatsink.

be cheaper, but then of course we'd all like that next-faster CPU for
cheaper too, it's all relative to the timing... The odds are that you

It wouldn't be that horrible if one must choose an Intel processor.
Most people have the choice of choosing an AMD processor instead.
