    Intel will lower prices of three Core Duo dual-core processor models by up to a third on 28 May, according to sources. Prices for the T2400, T2500 and T2600 processors will be lowered from $294, $423 and $637 per thousand units to $241, $294 and $423, respectively, with the T2300 currently priced at US$241 per thousand units to be replaced by the T2300E at $209, the sources said. Intel Taiwan declined to comment on unannounced information.

    CPU: T2400][T2500][T2600
    OLD: $294][$423][$637
    NEW:$241][$294][$423
