Celeron prices get the snip

In preperation for its upcoming 2.7GHz desktop Celeron, Intel has cut list prices for the current Celeron line of chips by as much as 14 percent.
Intel typically schedules its price drops and communicates them to PC makers well in advance. However, the Santa Clara, Calif., company also uses pricing as a tool to make room for new chips, motivate PC buyers or prod PC makers to move up to faster processors. It does so by reducing the price on the faster chip so that it's the same as the slower chip's price.
Intel's largest price cut was on its fastest Celeron. It decreased the price of the 2.6GHz desktop chip by 14 percent, from $103 to $89.
