2550k costs more than 2500k!

Edit: I would be 'slightly' interested to see if the cpu actually run cooler and oces higher.

I like how intel guy stopped responding when his "marketing scheme" failed.

hahaha.

First Newegg "verified owner" review.


1/5 eggs
Should have read reviews first
Pros: It's an i5

Cons: It's a broken 2500k for more money

Other Thoughts: Dang I should have read some more reviews first. Paid more for a broken proc



Either the 2500k will discontinue, or the price will drop on the 2550k if this keeps up.

So that guy found out about it being an apparent Intel gimmick the harder way. :\

IGP removed from the die or just disabled?

Screens to back up?

Disabled.

No.

No.

So, no real benefit over the 2500K for a higher asking price. Poor value, IMO.

I hope nobody buys this thing over a 2500K just because the passmark charts show it having a bizarrely high score.
