    the 15% on duallies sounds realistic, but 60%?

    I'm assuming that's a marketing figure taken out of context, ie the current lowest-spec pentium will cost 60% less than it did when it came out, possibly?

    I think the translation is "hey we won't be able to sell our old processors one we start selling core 2s since they are faster and use less power. I know lets sell the old ones cheep to any suckers who will buy them even though they are pieces of fecal matter"

    i think, what they are basically saying is, that once dual core gets going, both AMD and Intel are going to have to cut its prices on single core processors or no one will buy them any more.

    but seriously, who needs dual core for office work? then again, you can do that quite well on 166mhz computer......
