link to core 2 pricing for upcoming quarter?

[chiew]

hello all,
was just wondering if someone could provide a link to intel's planned pricing of processors (especially quads, but i'll take the duos if you have them too ) in the near future. reason i ask is i might be getting into some HD filming/editing, so i'll be looking for something to replace the ol' e4300.

thanks in adance

I'd like one too...There should definitely be a sticky about the whole Intel processor line (speeds, multipliers, typical OC's, upcoming release dates, etc) on top of the page.

Well the only thing I have heard is the introduction of the Q9550 with a few price cuts. Intel just recently cut prices on just about all of its processors. Here is the only thing I've heard:

Aside from the price cuts that have already happened, the Q9450 will drop to $266 as the Q9550 will cost $316. But I definitely agree. I'll always catch a processor price slashing from a message board post, but whenever I forget about it I can never find the information again.

The E8500 cuts have already occurred

I believe some have said that Aug 10th or thereabouts was the price cut for the Q9550 which is currently sold many places in the $550 range

What about the Q9650?

 

[cusideabelincoln]

The Q9650 is going to be about $530, with a locked multiplier.

"A few of the older Intel CPUs will be phased out including the Core 2 Quad 9450. The 9450 will be replaced with the Core 2 Quad running at 2.66GHz at $266." from here:
http://www.dailytech.com/Intel...in+Q3/article11843.htm

if I'm not mistaken, isn't the Q9450 already a core 2 quad running at 2.66? Why would they replace the Q9450 with the exact same thing?

Edit: nevermind, this was more clear:

yeah, all they're doing is bumping up the multi a 1/2 step on q9300 (to make it q9400), 9450 (to make it q9550) and 9550 (to make it 9650). they go from 7.5, 8, and 8.5 to 8, 8.5, and 9. pretty tricky, but they can get away with it when amd's cpu dept is asleep at the wheel. good thing for them the gpu guys showed up this year or they'd probably all be in the soup line right now...

 

[chiew]

wow, that was simple, thanks bryan . much easier than they made it

 

[chiew]

p.s. i read about some new e5*** processor for around $90, anyone have links to this and any other new processors intel might be cooking?

Wait for Nehalem and then go for this (yorkfield w/DDR2) as the penryn system's price-point and performance will be quite enticing once Nehalem puts price pressure on those yorkie ASP's.

Nehalem + DDR3 + X58 mobo != budget-minded build
