[September 3, 2010] HardwareCentral's CPU Price Watch for September 3, 2010
With nothing new making its way onto the charts these days, it's no surprise that significant price drops remain an exception in this issue of the CPU price guide. And until we see some new product releases from the two camps, that isn't very likely to change.

[August 20, 2010] HardwareCentral's CPU Price Watch for August 20, 2010

[July 23, 2010] HardwareCentral's CPU Price Watch for July 23, 2010
Our now-biweekly (alternating with memory prices) guide has only a handful of processor price drops to report, but one of them is by hundreds of dollars. Here's hoping that's a sign of savings yet to come.
