Slowing spending on computers saw Intel profits fall by 90% from $2.3bn to $234m (£159.6m) in the last three months of 2008.
Whats this mean for processor prices?

Not a great deal, the mess the economy is in and the operating costs of a company this size will require them to keep the prices reasonably high, even if they lay off thousands more employees. There certainly won't be runouts on CPUs anytime soon, they might slow-down the product cycle to reduce spend on R&D though.
If you've seen the pricing on the new i7 chips I can understand why you'd want to see their pricing coming down, but I think that's being overly optimistic.

Well, at least they still posted a profit. The article says their stock actually went up after they announced the 90% drop
