Intel CPU prices on the move...Down that is!!!

[Duvie]

Notice the chip prices down as much as 10-15 bucks from a day ago....I think this is in preview of the 3.06ghz p4 to be launched in about 2 weeks....I think the 2.53ghz in two weeks should be under 200 bucks.

Will INtel launch a 2.933ghz at same time as 3.06ghz??? If so will this have the 2.8ghz drop to sub 300 levels like the 2.53ghz P4 did when the 2.8ghz arrived.....

Does anyone have links to news reports of upcoming intel pricing???

Of corse who knows if this is legit or not : Intel Price Cuts

Definatly wouldnt mind picking up a 2.53ghz for under 200.

 

[Wolfsraider]

$443 for the xeon 2.8:Q

just a wee bit longer for a nice duallie machine

santa i have been very good

 

[THUGSROOK]

bah! the only chips that matter are the "disposable" cheap chips ~ 1.8A and 2.26B

 

[canadianpsycho]

I think some of the higher end CPUs will be getting a bit o' a price cut in a short time

 

[lookin4dlz]

Not doing anything until the 3.06GHz chip gets below $200, so the faster they fall the sooner I'll be able to upgrade

 

[SupermanCK]

knew it already...nov 9th or something...maybe the 14th...but sure as hell it will go down

 

[THUGSROOK]

could this be the straw that broke AMDs back?

AMD is down to a pathetic 11% market share :Q

Where are the Clawhammers?! They better have something soon, or AMD will be fighting a losing PR battle.

Dammit Duvie where were you a couple 'o days ago when I bought my 2.4B 6EF from Newegg for a 189$!?!

bah! the only chips that matter are the "disposable" cheap chips ~ 1.8A and 2.26B

I'd agree except when I bought my 1.6A on Feb.12th it was 148$ for a CPU capped@2.4ghz so the 50$ for the C1 2.4B feels cheap as well

 

[ScrewFace]

I not gonna upgrade for a year. I wonder what I'll be able to get for $1,000 then? I can't wait!

 

[techietam]

Dammit Duvie where were you a couple 'o days ago when I bought my 2.4B 6EF from Newegg for a 189$!?!

That's right!!! Where were you on Thursday when I paid $135 for 2.53??!!
In a few weeks the price will drop on that 2.8 that didn't want to pay $270 for

 

[TenEgg]

Where do you buy 2.53 for $135 and 2.8 for $270???

 

[Duvie]

Yeah!!! I would have been all over that...Was that a hot deals type thing??? And if so why didn't somebody post a link to it here???:|

 

[fluxquantum]

prices are moving down but i still can't afford one

 

[Duvie]

Give it time and sell old sh^t...Look for a 2.26 or 1.8 in about 3-4 weeks!!!

 

[techietam]

Sorry, guy.
If it was a hot deal, I'd post it right up.
I bought, since our company is authorized Intel's reseller.
Each one of them can buy one CPU of each kind at discount
prices, So, it cost me $122 plus tax.

I could've got 2.8 for $251 plus tax but decided to get this instead.
After Intel cuts their prices, I might sell it to someone I know,
since we can't sell it for 6 month and get me 2.8,
unless someone else from my company wants that 2.8

Sounds kinda inflammatory to me. I hope it isn't true, otherwise we can all bend over for more overpriced P4 cpu's from Intel. Just a thought, looks like newegg has some 1700+ thoroughbred revision B cpu's for $75. If it pans out then that's gonna be 2.2GHz Athlon performance for dirt cheap.
Of course Intel has done their job and the general public will never realize that they don't have to pay upward of $200 to get a truly fast cpu. I still prefer AMD and that is motivated by price, AMD has it and Intel doesn't! But when it comes to good advertising (or misleading the public), Intel has it and AMD doesn't!

 

[THUGSROOK]

maybe i need new glasses ~ but im seeing prices going up not down

 

[Toymaker]

The PIV 2.53 hasn't dropped much since I bought mine at $230.00. The 2.8 and 2.66 have dropped noticably though.

 

[OMGthatsCraZY]

so shall i wait a lil longer to get a 2.53 or a 2.4 ...or shall i just do it now?

 

[XBoxLPU]

Xbit labs also had news of a price cut

Googlegear prices have also changed. Newegg's should change soon enough

 

[Akaz1976]

well that xbitlabs article is date nov 1st and states that price cuts would be official on nov 10th. Today is 11th and no offical word on price cuts

Not starting a AMD vs Intel debate here, but I'll take two Athlon MPs over two Pee4 Xeons.

Go here to check out a member of my forum's specs (ignore the fact that it's in a rack, you can get the same results without the rack).

He has two Athlon MP2200+ OC'ed to 2025 MHz. I'd rather get two 1600s and OC them than spend $300 a chip for Xeons.

 

[Johnnychangs]

Yeah I saw that article on Xbit also. Strange...I don't see any changes in prices on Googlegear's site. They are the same as yesterday. And Newegg....their 2.53ghz P4 has gone UP to $241. Yesterday it was at $238.

A bit strange. Maybe they're trying to make a couple extra bucks before they are forced to change the prices. And does this price change affect current stock, or only newly purchased "one thousand units". Thats a lot of units.
