DailyTech reports that a few Intel CPU’s will be receiving price cuts, most notably the 805, 820, 915 and 945.

Single-core Intel Pentium 4 6xx and 5xx series will receive drastic price cuts on July 23rd, 2006. Pentium 4 models 661, 651, 641 and 631 will drop to $163. Previous pricing on the Pentium 4 661, 651, 641 and 631 were $401, $273, $218 and $178 respectively. Pentium 4 541and 531 will drop to $84 and $74 from the previous $218 and $178 prices. At the bottom of the Pentium 4 chain is the Pentium 4 524 clocked at 3.06 GHz with a 533 MHz front-side bus. The Pentium 4 524 price will drop to a mere $69 which is bordering Celeron D territory.

While these are great prices, it’s hard to not justify the wait for Conroe. Although, if you have an ‘old’ 775 box lying around that needs some new life, this will be the perfect opportunity to upgrade it.
