  Celeron chips get cheaper
Time: 17:26 EST/22:26 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Alex Harris

Intel has lowered the list prices of its top three desktop Celeron chips by as much as 13 percent. Intel sliced the price of its 1.2GHz Celeron the most, lowering it $10, to bring the price to $69--a 13 percent drop. The chipmaker, which made the cuts effective Sunday, is likely clearing the way for its latest desktop Celerons, a new family of chips based on NetBurst. NetBurst is Intel's newest PC processor architecture. A more recent version of NetBurst is used for the company's Pentium 4 chip.

The new Celerons are expected to hit the market Wednesday, though PC makers are likely to wait until the following Monday, May 20, to launch new machines. That's when Intel will debut a new low-price version of its 845 chipset, a group of enabling chips used inside a PC. The chipset offers a lower price and includes a graphics processor, reducing the cost to build a PC and therefore allowing PC makers to sell their new Celeron systems for well below $1,000.
