Intel, the world's largest chip maker, said on Sunday it cut the prices of its fastest microprocessors for desktop and laptop PCs by as much as 38 percent on Sunday, following its regular pattern of slashing the cost of its chips in advance of faster models. The price of Intel's Pentium 4 microprocessor running at 3 gigahertz was cut 32 percent to $401 from $589. The price of the mobile Pentium 4 chip running at 2.4 gigahertz was cut 38 percent to $348. Intel last made price cuts in February. The cuts came as Intel introduced faster models of both types of chips.
