Here is a more recent chart. Although it is still dated. I don't see anything more recent that May. I'll post here if I come across anything more recent, but this one seems to indicate present price cuts.

Two reports appeared on the web that expect that Intel will lower prices in its low-end dual-core and quad-core CPU lines on October 19. These cuts reportedly will reduce the Core 2 Quad Q8200 from its existing $224 to $193, while the Core 2 Quad Q6600 will fall $10 to $183-still a little higher than what AMD's Phenom X4 9950 costs now. Intel's price cut will coincide with the arrival of the $133 Core 2 Duo E7400, which will run at 2.8GHz. The E7400's arrival will push the 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E7300 down to $113. Also, the Pentium E2220 will drop to $74 and the E2200 to $64, both $10-15 below current pricing.

On November 30, the company is planning to launch the Core 2 Quad Q8300 with a core frequency of 2.5GHz, Pentium E5300 at 2.6GHz, and dual-core Celeron E1500 at 2.2GHz, priced at US$224, US$86 and US$53 in thousand-unit tray quantities, respectively.

On January 18 next year, the company will launch the Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU at 2.93GHz and priced at US$133, and will reduce pricing for the Core 2 Quad Q8200 from US$193 to US$183, Core 2 Duo E7400 from US$133 to US$113, Pentium E5200 from US$84 to US$76, Pentium E2220 from US$84 to US$64 and Celeron E1400 from US$54 to US$43.

Intel will launch its Core i7 CPUs and X58 chipsets in November. Model numbers for the three Core i7 CPUs available at launch have been detailed as: Core i7 965 with a core frequency of 3.2GHz, Core i7 940 at 2.93GHz and Core i7 920 at 2.66GHz. The company will launch more models in the second quarter of 2009.
