Intel answers rumors of Core 2 Quad price cut... sorta

Culver City (CA) - The Internet is abuzz with rumors of a massive price cut in Intel’s Core 2 Quad processor later this year. According to On the phone, Snyder told TG Daily, "I cannot confirm nor deny any price cuts, but price cuts are a normal part of this industry." He added that prices generally trend lower as time goes on.
So in a roundabout way, Snyder did hint at a price cut sometime in the future, and price cuts regularly do come from Intel, but he just cannot give the amount or a specific date. It’s logical to assume that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 will eventually read $266 and probably could even go lower, but it might not happen in the 3rd quarter.
An inexpensive quad-core chip could make four cores the de-facto number of cores for entry level buyers. At last week’s Game Developers Conference, Intel repeatedly touted quad-core gaming as the next big thing. Is this just a coincidence ? I guess we’ll just have to wait until September.
