The Intel price cuts for April are finally out and Intel passed on this official pricing table to help us get all the information together in one place.  The first point is obviously that not ALL processors are seeing a price drop – anything over the Q600 price point is left unchanged.  That doesn’t mean that the Q6700 and Q6600 don’t become much better deals now; the Q6700 that runs at 2.66 GHz on the 1066 MHz FSB gets a 50% price drop!
