I've heard that Intel will cut down 60% price of Core 2 Duo after July 11. Is it true?

but dont u guys think we've been stuck in this 3.x ghz speed band for a long time now? i mean when we compare the time gap between the release of 1ghz processor and 2ghz ones, this 3.x ghz band is not going any higher!. i think we've hit a critical prosessing speed for silicon processors!
