For the first time since its release, the 1.4GHz Pentium 4 has begun to reach reasonable pricing. Although still expensive and almost impossible to find on the non-OEM market, the Pentium 4 is now a viable option for those looking for a cutting edge system without breaking the bank. The Pentium 4, however, is still not a practical solution for most users. People looking to buy a new Pentium 4 will still need to purchase a new motherboard, RDRAM, and a power supply for their systems which are all still pretty expensive. Intel has announced a 1.3GHz Pentium 4 to try to push prices down even further on Pentium 4 systems, but that CPU is currently not available in any form for the time being.
Although the 1.4GHz Pentium 4 has dropped in price, the Pentium III family remains virtually unchanged. Overall, the majority of Pentium III processors show a slight decrease in price with the largest drops coming at the top of the line 933MHz and 1.0GHz models.
With the year almost over, its obvious that many retailers want to clear out the old and make way for the new. All Celerons 633MHz and slower are now selling for under $70. These aren't the fastest processors out there, but those on a tight budget looking for a new computer will be more than satisfied. The higher end of the Celeron line remains overpriced. Note that for $2 more, a Pentium III 733MHz can be bought over the Celeron 766MHz. As we've seen time and time again, the Pentium III 733 would be considerably faster than a Celeron 766 in pretty much every conceivable situation.
Celerons with 100MHz FSB will finally start showing up early next month which could make the Celeron a viable option once again.
