In the mean time, prices on DDR2 seem to be really LOW!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
What chipset will the Core 2 with 1333Mhz FSB use? Will they still be using the 975X boards (which I think max out at 1066 FSB), or will there be a new board for 1333 FSB CPUs?Core 2 Duo 6050 family which features 1333MHz FSB...
Usually not. You would be surprised how close Newegg gets to or even below these prices.kenc51 wrote:Aren't these prices wholesale, ie. only if you buy a tray of 1000 (OEM) chips.
Retail prices will be higher!
There is one in August but only for Celerons and one or two Xeon models, but that is the last one at least for the time being. I can't imagine Intel being able to afford to cut prices on Quads or their top frequency chips any further than $266 without eating the difference! Things might change with 45nm though, but that is still a ways off.id86 wrote:so,is there any price drop after 22 July?

From what I've seen from some mother board certifications there are going to be some nice lower end Quads released early and hopefully for a good price............CoolZone wrote:hope that the q6600 with penryn core will have the same price as the kentsfield one
I don't know why. If you check out spec.org benchmarks, the Opteron 2222 machines (3.0 GHZ) don't have a prayer at beating the 5160/X6800, in either FP or INT. Especially INT since almost everything you want to run fast is INT, the video cards do all the important vector and FP math.odie2190 wrote:how many people have picked up a proc since the price cuts. I plan on getting the 6000 amd.
If price was the only incentive to wait I'd have pulled the trigger already on a shiney new Q6600! I have a theory that with the incredibly absurd demand for the new E6850 and Q6600 chips Intel may end up adding more higher bin grade chips into the Q6600 pile. And considering your new E6850 was boxed up on the assembly line about 10 days ago, I think there's a good chance some good grade Q6600s will be had in the next two weeks...Bio-Hazard wrote:They'll settle to the 1000 unit price (or lower) after the rush is over, they always do...........
I figured that one would cost more than the $266 Q6600, there simply isn't any room left to compress prices without EOLing some of them! Then again since these quads are still 1067FSB, it's possible they will be EOLed for the Yorkfields to take their places sooner rather than later and skip the price cuts to move them.Bio-Hazard wrote: From what I've seen from some mother board certifications there are going to be some nice lower end Quads released early and hopefully for a good price............![]()
