When Will CPU Price Drops Be Seen In Stores?

[webley]

I heard Intel will be dropping prices in its P4 and possibly other CPUs again and AMD may follow this move. When do you think we may see this drop in stores? (I hope to time a purchase of a new CPU with this price drop.)

Some OEMs (like Compaq or Gateway) cut prices on the day a company (Intel in this case) slashes prices of their products. But others (IBM, HP, or even Dell) wait for a while (a few weeks) to see how the market reacts.
