As I understand it, Intel are not selling these CPUs directly to consumers at all. The CPUs are in a specific model of Gateway machine. I presume that Intel will have discussed with this Gateway, since it has their name on the card, and will have sold the CPUs to them 'at face value'. Did the use of these CPUs affect Gateway's pricing for the machines they sold to consumers? Seems unlikely, the low-end PC market has no margin to allow manufacturers to charge extra for something that's not an immediate benefit.
