Intel to update desktop CPU lines in 3Q08

No mention of e3140.

The company will also drop pricing for the Core 2 Duo E8500 and E8400 from US$266 and US$183 to US$183 and US$163, respectively.

What an awkward pricing window. Why would they make the E8500 and the E8400 so closely priced.

Q3 might be as early as the third week of July.

That is just about the last thing I wanted to read. Why is the waiting game so easy to play?

E7200 dropping to $113...nice! I can definitely wait.

The Q9450 didn't hang around long, did it ? Might as well wait on the 9550 now, but the mad scramble to buy these chips will resemble the E8400 rush at launch. I hate adding the item to cart only to see the dreaded 'Not in stock' pop up as soon as you do.

Is it the e8300 that's being phased out, or the e8200, or both ?

You would wait 2 months to save $20.00? By then you will want something else anyway. So take the plunge now and enjoy!

$20 is $20 man, that's a couple weeks worth misc(coffee, tea, etc..) purchases while at work, or half a case of diapers, or a couple nights of dinner for us, or 2/3 tank of gas for the car, or you get the drift...I can wait.
