Intel also plans to increase its dual-core processor production to over 80% of its processor lineup in the second quarter of this year. However, the chip giant will keep producing 15% of its processors as single-core processors for the low-end market.
Taiwanese industry sources also leaked that Intel is preparing a $200 pricecut for the QX6800 processor in Q3 2007. The chip will drop from $1,199 to $999.
