Intel To Cut Viiv Prices

[HardOCP News]

DigiTimes says that Intel has plans to cut its prices all the way down to $1 for its upcoming ICH9-DH chipset. To put it into perspective, Intel used to charge $5 per chipset for the same chipset earlier this year.

Intel will attempt to push its multimedia platform, Viiv, further into the market later in 2007 with plans to charge motherboard makers just US$1 for its upcoming ICH9-DH chipset, compared to the first and second quarter pricing of US$5 and US$3 for the ICH8-DH, according to sources.

Wow. Too bad this will most likely not show up as a discount to any motherboard out there.
