Curious, why the Intel EE X6800 and QX6700 the same price?

I'm curiuos as to why the previous dual core Intel EE 6800 processor and the new quad core QX6700 processor is the same price at most sites. The QX6700 is the replacement for the X6800 so shouldn't the X6800 price be reduced? I realize the clock speed of the X6800 is 2.93GHz and the QX6700 is 2.66GHz but since the latter is the newest model and quad core I'd think the X6800 price would have come down.
