Intel product could set off a price war
Article Abstract:
Intel is asking $352 for its new Pentium 4, 1.7-gigahertz chip, half of the initial price of the 1.5-gigahertz model, though one has to buy 1,000 microprocessors for the price. Consumers could benefit from a likely price war between Intel and Advanced Micro Devices even as both companies earnings have been deadly. Intel's new chip is faster than AMD's Athlon, though not necessarily better, and the company promises to break into 2-gigahertz territory in months.

Intel selling two-gigahertz chips; a slight rise in computing speed, but a milestone for marketing
Article Abstract:
Intel Corp.'s new line of Pentium 4 two gigahertz microprocessors are now on sale. Although the jump in speed of the new chips is not much faster than the previous 1.8 gigahertz chips, Intel's marketing effort has worked in conjunction with PC makers using the chips. The hope is that PCs with the new chip, running Microsoft's new Windows XP operating system will entice buyers in the struggling computer market. Intel has also slashed prices for its entire Pentium 4 line of chips.
