Yonah update
03.26.06 - 12:06pm
The rumor mill has been at it again over the last couple of days and what has come out is very good news for the consumer. Rumor has it that Intel will be slashing prices on their Pentium M successor, Yonah. Across the product range, prices are being cut by up to 33%, making Yonah a very good platform to base a computer around, especially a laptop or HTPC. While the highest price cuts occur in the more expensive components, the mid-range T2400 will drop from $294 to 241, but current street price is up above $320 so look for the T2400 coming in around 260 or so, but still a $60 cut.
This exciting tidbit of news comes from the ChannelRegister so I don’t know how much truth lies in this document, but this would be a smart move by Intel, especially with Conroe and Merom coming out, Yonah may already be on it’s way out. Goodbye old slow architecture, make way for the newer, flashier circuits.
