IIRC, no specific dates yet. They will be timed to coincide with the AMD Barcelona release. Intel wants to crash the party.

I agree with you dudes that AMD's existance pushed prices down, as I remember Intel used to charge so much back in Pentium I and II days. I think they will not hesitate to charge like 500 bucks or 1000 bucks for CPUs again if AMD goes outta business.

if it weren't for AMD, we'd still be brainwashed with Netburst Architecture, owning 5ghz P4H 500w CPUs requiring CTX motherboards, and cases with a design requirement of a 4x5 grid array of 120mm fans for each side of the case.
GO AMD!
This post is sig material, by the way.

Woot!!
Go Intel!! Go Intel!!
FAIL!
we should be rooting for AMD. Not just because we all like amd, but because we can't afford for them to go down. If barcelona can't best Core, AMD is pretty much out of the picture.

I don't know where people come up with this stuff. Intel has always used the same pricing structure, throughout their history, whether a major competitor was in the picture or not. ~$1000 for the top dog and the usual intervals on down. This has never changed and will not change even if AMD closed up shop (unless Intel feels like committing suicide).

You've got the right idea.
I hope Barcelona absolutely wipes the floor with C2D!!!
