A story from PCMag reports that Intel Dual Core processor prices have been slashed by as much as 40-60%.

So I checked the local stores to see if they indeed change their list price to reflect the same.

While Villman still lists the Intel Pentium D Processor 820 (Dual Core, 2.80 GHz, 800MHz) at Php 10,499, the ones at PC Express is already down to just Php 6,900 only. The Pentium D 805 (Dual Core; 2.66 GHz, 533MHz) but on PCX it’s only Php 5,750. I’m sure Villman will follow suit and update their prices.

Even the AMD Socket 939 and the AM2 have slipped down a couple thousand pesos as well. The prices should go down a few more hundred bucks when everything rolls out and competition among retailers levels to a nice price-point. Should be a really nice time to do some upgrades next month.
