Intel Corp (INTC)

[P2O I'm from MO]

wanna,

As far as Intel's active product list, the lowest priced Celeron is the 331/336 series at $54, which Newegg is selling for $55 and $58, respectively. That should tell you that Intel is not discounting their prices any further than their advertised price list.

You really think the disti/reseller lives on a 2% margin (on
the $55 price)? I'd be willing to bet they get those Celery's
for about $48-50 or less from iNtel although I don't know how
we can verify it. Oh, wait, my list shows at least one disti
offering to sell to me for 53.00. So they sell them to me at a $2 loss and make it up on volume, right?

My experience from seeing actual PO's left lying around at
some disti functions is the average markup is 6-8%. :)

Regards,
Mike.
