Intel to Cut Prices on Existing CPUs and Introduce New Parts in Q3
Two things that drive the CPU world are price and performance. Depending on the needs of the consumer one or the other of these two factors is the main driver behind what processor is purchased. For many AMD CPUs the only place they compete currently in on price and Intel is starting to whittle away at the price difference.
Recent roadmaps reveal the company has another cut coming in Q3 2008. Simultaneously, Intel will release new quad-core and dual-core processors. This includes the 3.0 GHz Core 2 Quad Q9650 with a price of $530 in 1000 unit trays. The current Core 2 Quad Q9550 will get a significant price cut from its current $530 to $316.
A few of the older Intel CPUs will be phased out including the Core 2 Quad 9450. The 9450 will be replaced with the Core 2 Quad running at 2.66GHz at $266. Other quad-core processors being phased out include the Q9300 and Q6700 leaving the Q6600 as the only 65nm Intel CPU on the market selling for $203.
Intel will also make some changes in its dual-core lineup. The company will announce its Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 GHz processor for $266, and discontinue the Core 2 Duo E8300. The E8500 and E8400 dual-core parts will drop to $183 and $163 respectively. A new entry-level Core 2 Duo part will debut called the E7300 running 2.66GHz for $133. The existing E7200 will get a price reduction to $113.

Just walk away and laugh 
they might end up losing alot of money shipping it back to Malaysia in business they want minimize loss that why Intel build factory at Malaysia,China and other underdeveloped country
if there any price cut for this penryn at middle of year since already past for 1st Q1. 
then i better stick with q6600 s the only mainstream affordable quad core 4 now 
i'm sure gona get one of Q9450! USD 320$ converted + estimated tax = RM1.1k then OCIED to 3.6GHz ..... SUPRERIOR PERFORMANCE lol.... 
will it be better if the price is expensive but the performance is low? there is nothing that the more expensive the better...should not judge like that...should judge whether it worth the money you pay for...of course if you have lot of money...you can buy the most expensive processor you want...no one will stop you... 
..daddy's waiting.. 
penryn will come out in january while phenom and barcelona will come out around Q2.so my advice to you is just buy whatever you can afford now without worrying about the future chip because this *INTEL-IS-BETTER-THAN-AMD-&-AMD-LATER-IS-BETTER-THAN-INTEL* cycle will not stop until the day you leave the world.
