More evidence of lackluster Centrino demand: Intel to cut Pentium M prices in October

Or...... The 0.13u Cost cutting, which has been going on for the last quarter, has shown enough cost savings to allow intel to cut prices on chips that are starting in the Fabs right now, and sell more chips on the run up to Christmas.

Or..... Yields have improved so much, that intel can now afford to promise to fill orders for October and sell each each of those chips for less.

Or..... Intel is readying a speed grade increase in October, and is cutting prices prior to the introduction of the new speed grade.

See Petz, there's lots of other possible reasons..... Besides yours.
