Sandy Bridge is finally willing to cut prices

Due to the lack of sufficient competitive pressures, Intel processors have seldom cut prices in recent years. This fall, with the release of more new models, some of the old Sandy Bridge finally ushered in price cuts, but only marginally.

The price reduction was carried out in two batches. The first batch appeared in September, involving a higher-end Core i7 and five Core i5, all of which were non-standard models ending in S and T. The price reduction was at least At 4 U.S. dollars, at most 12 U.S. dollars, no more than 6% was converted.

The second batch was conducted in October and involved a lower-end Core i3-2120 and two Pentium G850/G630. The former reduced its price to 21 US dollars, more than 15%, this is the largest drop this time, I believe this popular products favored by mainstream users will become more popular. The price adjustments of the two Pentiums have followed past practice. They are all 11 dollars cheaper, and because they are not expensive, the price reduction is not small, which is a good news for entry-level users.

At the same time, Intel will release up to eleven new models of different specifications, mainly for the mainstream and entry-level markets, namely Core i5-2320, Core i3-2130/2125/2120T, Pentium G860/G630/G630T, Celeron G540/G530/G530T/G440, Celeron brand is the first time in the Sandy Bridge desktop family. We have made detailed reports on their specific specifications and prices beforehand. We will not go into details here.
