The latest price list released by Intel showed prices on its latest chip remain the same, indicating a strong demand in personal computer especially in notebook segment.
Intel typically cuts prices in the April through June period, analysts say, and for two main reasons: it's historically a slow season for PC sales, so Intel lowers prices to attract consumers; and because new product introductions push down the prices of older chips.
This year, despite introducting new chips to the market, Intel didn't trim prices on any of its existing chips on its June price list, and in May, it made only a few modifications.
What's good for Intel is normally good for the PC industry, since Intel CPUs power around four-fifths of the world's PCs.
