Intel Haswell Box Art and Prices

[Centauri]

That box art is very 486-throwback.

Might finally be time to retire my Q600.... I know, right??

So which one will be in the microcenter deal?

Microcenter deal probably won't happen until a few months after launch.

They typically have one right about launch the last two cycles.

You order OEM chips without coolers and limited 30-90days warranty? Not to mention how hard OEM aka tray chips is to find in the channel.

I used to do it that way, but they are getting tougher to find now. I vaguely remember getting 1 year warranties on those chips as well.

estimate on microcenter prices?

I need to sell my it 3570k and asrock z77 extreme4 so i can buy a haswell i5 and micro itx mobo

That box is hideous.

I don't really care what the box looks like. I care about what comes in the box and how well that will work. If the Haswell CPU works well the box is getting tossed/recycled.

I would expect the motherboards to be expensive as well.

Personally, I would just go with a 3570k. The possible small inprovements in Haswell dont seen worth it to me until the prices settle down.

Still kicking myself that I didnt get to Microcenter for the 169.00 deal last weekend.

I'm just anxious to see some reviews and find out the OC headroom. If temps are improved over Ivy, then Haswell can be a worthwhile jump from Sandy.

The question will be i7-4770K or i5-4670K...and whether 2MB of cache and 4 virtual cores are worth $100.

Did anyone notice that Intel's changing the logos for the Core chips? An image of the new version can be seen from the Iris presentation earlier this week...

That same logo can be seen next to the large "Z87X-UD3H" logotype on that leaked image of said model's box art from Chip Hell...

38 days until release? Sounds about right.

So what's the realistic amount of time before I see these in a Lenovo T series and a Surface Pro 2?

Nextgen Surfaces comes in June. If its Haswell or not is another question. But Intel is the supplier for the x86 version and nVidia for the ARM.

But T series Lenovo you gotta wait long time on. They tend to be 6-9 months after for some reason.

box art is actually real (i think)

1000$ on Ebay? What a scam. Who would be dumb enough to buy that. Not to mention you can buy it in almost all countries by now. At retail price.

(And the box art was confirmed in another thread.)

couldnt agree more.

There's always an alternative. :awe:

 

[tweakboy]

C'mon Intel, hurry the f*ck up. The second I don't like what I see, it's Microcenter time for either a 3930K or 3770K

Wait September Intel launches Ivy Bridge E cpus. 6 core 12 threads.

With a good OC as well, this CPU will be neck and neck with 4770k. gl

 

[Montosaurous]

Microcenter will probably be $190, as it is with the i5 3570k and will probably be $50 off select mobos, as it is with the 3570k.
