Cheap speed

Intel has announced some price cuts on a bunch of popular processors. The largest of price cuts come close to 33% percent.
The great overclocker, the E8500 (3.16) was cut from $266 to $183. The more inexpensive (and also great for overclocked) E7200 (2.53 GHz) gets a %15 price reduction, going from $133 to $113. The E8400 goes from $183 to $163, and the E3110 (3GHz) got a similar price cut, now selling for $167 instead of $183.
And Intel had some love for their quad-cores as well: the Q6600 (2.4 GHz) falls from $223 to $193.
The Xeon line also benefited from some price reductions. The X3220 (2.4 GHz) dropped to $198 from $224, while the X3210 (2.13 GHz) took a similar cut.
The pricing for all the "Extreme" branded processors has not been changed.
