Intel will release a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 processor on Monday and with it a scorched-earth approach to the PC market.
"The 1.7GHz Pentium 4 will sell for $352 when it debuts, with PCs incorporating the chip selling for just less than $1,800, monitor included. Price cuts on 1.3GHz, 1.4GHz and 1.5GHz Pentium 4s slated for the following week will drop the base price of computers using the chip to the $1,000 mark. A little more than a year ago, 1GHz chips alone cost $1,299. " http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-5682485.html?tag=mn_hd
