So Intel has cut prices on its processors, some by 50%! For instance, the Q6700 (one model above my Q6600) sold for $530 just a month ago. That's actually why I went with the Q6600 (which I picked up for $200 at Microcenter), the only difference between the two is the multiplier on the Q6700 is x10, whereas the Q6600 is x9.
Well now Intel has cut the price from $530 to $266! Of course because of market forces the chip's actually selling for $300 (like on NewEgg)... but it wasn't that long ago that Intel announced a similar price cut on the Q6600 and it too sold at $300 and now it can be had for less than $200. There are also new Penryn Desktop (Wolfdale) chips announced like the e8300 which should be a sub-$200 45nm dual core chip.
In short, more bad news for AMD.
Also, I've had a hell of a time installing Ubuntu (Release Candidate for Hardy Heron) on my old Pentium 4 desktop. Specifically the wireless adapter's acting weird with it. When I get more time I'll play around and try to figure out what's going on.
