This Week

This week we see the effects of Intel's recent Pentium 4 price cuts. The rest of Intel's line of processors saw a downward trend in prices this week as well.

AMD's lines of processors also saw some significant price reductions this week, especially in the high-end Athlon-C parts.

Retailers are finally receiving their GeForce3 cards this week. As a result, prices through all of NVIDIA's line have fallen. We also see little change again in ATI Radeon prices.
