Intel Cuts Prices of Core i7-2600K and i7-2700K

Unless intel fixes the heat issue with Ivy Bridge, I would still go for one of these.

Just find the best deal you can. So happy I got a 2500k at $180.

I was being sarcastic, sorry I should have added the at the end of my comment. How much is a pint of beer where you live? Not a 250ml glass, i'm no lady

Well, we drink mostly drafts which are half of liter, the Pint is like 570ml? Not sure... so like I said, ~1 Euro. In clubs goes more then double tho..

Seeing as most game's these day's are console port's the need for the absolute best hardware is not so much, all you need is a decent amount of RAM and a good GFX card and you are pretty much set to have same or better performance than a console If all you do is game anyways.

Most games aren't console ports...and your grammar is horrifyingly bad.

intel doesn't need to cut prices any further. 10€ is ok for them. No big deal for us but may be a big deal for OEMs.

I just hope it's a significant improvement over the SBs and not some marginal improvement like the IBs :shadedshu.

my crystal balls says the improvement will 20% tops.

seriously current processor are more than enough to handle most of the software out there. i think intel will increase the performance a bit but will concentrate more on efficiency.

what socket Intel intend to use for Haswell? is it going to be 1155? if yes its going to be worth the wait, else just buy a 2700K and a 1155 board, its going to be worth more than the IVB setup, since the heat dissipation in IVB is a problem.

it will be on a new socket. if we're lucky it will be used for two generation

Lucky you! Cheapest you find a crap domestic here is $4, more if in a dance club/strip joint. Don't get me started on imported/premium price's

your grammar is horrifyingly bad.

Glad you noticed, stay tuned for more!
