As foreseen, Intel lowered the price of some of its Core 2 Quad processors in order to make a place for the new models that have a TDP of 65W, which according to rumours will be used in the next generation of the iMac that we have beens waiting for some weeks. There are 3 processors:
- C2Q Q8200s: 2,33GHz 2x2 MB of cache FSB 1333 MHz for $239
- C2Q Q9400s: 2,66GHz 2x4 MB of cache FSB 1333 MHz for $318
- C2Q Q9550s: 2,83GHz 2x6 MB of cache FSB 1333 MHz for $367

The prices shown are those for 1000 quantity. Apple will certainly pay a much lower price. Since they are processors for office machines, they are sold with a lower price than Core 2 Duo for mobiles currently used by Apple in the iMac; thus we can hope for price reduction of the iMac, except if the rest of the components are more expensive at Apple.
