real nice price drops...almost matching amds prices and supposedly higher performance.

 

[Homeless]

that looks nice, too bad it's kinda far away

 

[JC316]

I am getting a message....... It says "You are going to upgrade in the summer of 07" Sweet prices.

 

[jocksteeluk]

im glad i waited this year before upgrading

 

[SpookyWillow]

me too, i got stung when AMD dropped the X2 prices last year

Q2-2007 begins on Jan. 1st. 2007 which is not that far away!

 

[Wile E]

Hey, don't tell my AMD buddies, but my X2 might have an "accident" in Q2, and have to be replaced with one of these C2Ds. lol

*waits for AMD to make similiar announcement*

 

[rockit00]

No. Q1-2007 is right now! It started back in Sept. Look up Fiscal Quarters in Wikipedia!

 

[giorgos th.]

a very nice chance to look for a good E6700...

 

[Easy Rhino]

i hate this!!!! i was gonna get me the toledo after christmas! now im thinking the 6600 because of that amazing price drop (almost 100 bucks)! so lets hope AMD drops their prices and i can get the toldeo 2.4ghz for less than 200! if not, it might be worth selling this whole rig off and going intel. dont make me do it AMD!

 

[Casheti]

Shame the mobos dont drop in price too

 

[rockit00]

Wikipedia lists the fiscal year 2007: Q1-October 1-2006/Q2-January 1-2007/Q3-April 1-2007/Q4-July 1-2007. So it seems Intel will lower prices some time between Jan 1-2007,and March 31-2007! $ave your$$$.

 

[DBH]

In that case come Jan/Feb new pc for me

 

[rockit00]

Yeah, the Jan/Feb price for a E6700 is looking real good!

Thats providing Intel is quoting based on fiscal years as opposed to calender years, if calender then 1st April onwards, either way I was going to upgrade Feb/March so it fits in quite nicely with my E6600 plans and an Anus P5B Deluxe should be a bit cheaper then also, couple that with a fantastic deal I have just found for 2 Gigs of Corsair XMS pro4 800Mhz DDR2 @ 4-4-4-12 which I will buy today as its on special offer with 30% reduced for this week only and I am happy!

Awesome!

But why is the E6420 the same price as the E6400 when the former has 4MB of cache?

And where are the Q6600 and the E4300? They havnt been released yet..

[kakazza]

Again, why would I buy an E6400 instead of a E6420 and same for E6300 and E6320.

Same price but different cache, I don't see what would make me buy the version with the lower Cache for the same money.
Except TDP changes due to native 2MB cache

 

[NamesDontMatter]

this is most likely perparing for 1333 bus Conroe cores. Anyone know this revised editions performance gains over the 1066?

 

[Frick]

w00t! z00t! Maybe that's a sign for me to upgrade then..

 

[Sasqui]

The E4400 looks like a winner with a 10x multi and $131!!! But yea, where is it??

 

[Tatty_Two]

Lol thats their nickname
