Will faster Pentium M chips lower current prices?

Intel will redraw its mobile road map next month.

The chipmaker will, over the next few weeks, release several faster Pentium M and mobile Pentium 4 processors for notebook PCs. The new mobile chips will mark a shift in strategy for Intel. With the Pentium M--the processor that forms the core of its Centrino chip family for wireless notebooks--taking hold in the market, the company will change the mission of its mobile Pentium 4, also known as the Pentium 4-M, by boosting its clock speed to appeal more to consumers.




Will this drasticly drop the price of the current Pentium M processors? I go to school in 3 months and need a laptop by then and was considering ordering my Dell tomorrow, unless waiting another couple months will save me a couple hundred dollars. If its not too much of an impact i will just go ahead and purchase now, since i have to go on a road trip and the ability to watch DVD's on the long drive will be well worth any money saved waiting

i've decided on a Dell Lattitude D600. From reviews i've read its the most reliable and the most worth my money.
