Will Core 2 Duo (Conroe) be available tomorrow?

[m21s]

Has anyone confirmed this yet from the bigger retailers?
Or are we still in the waiting game.

I've been reading in various locations that these will not be available on the 7th now.

There still talking another week or two.

What gives?

 

[Duvie]

Mnay have confirmed E6300's and E6400's are in stock and wil be shipping tomorrow...however E6600's and E6700's may be different...

 

[m21s]

x6800?

 

[xestanz]

Duvie, 6300 have been shipping/avalible for a while. From PCClub: The store near me, already had some 6300 instock on friday and ZZF has been shipping for a while. According to PCClubs distrobution center, they will get the 6600,6700 in tomorrow.
Although there are already a couple threads on this topic.

what if it wont be available tomorrow? intel fanboys committing suicide?

 

[Kwint Sommer]

I'm not an Intel fanboy but I am a huge step forward in CPU tech. Fanboy and as such I will be rather ticked if they don't arrive.

 

[Tsuwamono]

oh no... not having to wait alittle longer to get a piece of another intel product. What ever will we do? I was hoping to change my mobo atleast 5 times with this generation of intel chip. i guess ill only have to change it 4 times eh? Darn, i was looking forward to another 200$ intel mobo.

Its amazing how the AMD community for the most part has stuck with AMD even though C2D performs as it does.
I mean lets face it, games are still GPU limited. Not CPU.

Unless you have a professional use (ie you make LOTS of money with your PC and use consumer level crap, which doenst really make sense but OK) then a time tested A64 X2 rig is still as good a way to go as anything.

I'm not a big fan of swapping out my mobo 5 times during the same chips life either. AMD seems to do a better job there historically.

AMD is still just as good as Intel in reality. AMD made the big jumps in performance.. and their interconnects are still light years ahead of Intels. The on-die mem controller is nothing to spit at either.

In gaming we now have Intel and AMD essentially on par. Kudos to Intel, but I dont know if I can be convinced to scrap this very fast A64 rig right now when my money would be better spend on video cards.

Emails from Newegg and ZipZoomFly say they will have the E6600 for sale on 8/7 (tomorrow).

I am staying up late tonight, and if they are I will buy one.....E6600...then I may keep my tankguys order as well..

 

[TheSynth]

If ZZF gets them as well I might order from them. There shipping is so cheap and fast. If newegg turns out to be cheaper I'll go with them.

 

[xboxist]

Does anyone have any experience with online retailers, as far as when a product is slated to be available on a certain day? Do they usually appear on their websites at midnight? Or some random time on that day?

 

[Kwint Sommer]

I can't speak for new products but NewEgg generally updates there front page close to 1AM PST.

Crusader, Please read the thread title again. Nothing there about Intel vs AMD wars. Please take it elsewhere. Also, editing the offending post would be courteous.

I placed an order with TigerDirect on July 30th. They are still claiming everything is on backorder. If they don't ship tomorrow I may have to switch my order. Why? I have heard some pretty bad reports about their customer service lately. "Not to be trusted", "Not to be believed". Has anyone had good experiences with TD and C2D orders? Including motherboards and C2D system components?

 

[sangchu3102]

Most of us are eager to buy C2D consumers, IMO, I think Newegg, ZZF, and other etailers are eager to sell resellers
so i'm guessing that they'll start selling EST time (hopefully)
but until i get my E6600 I won't rest until 3:00 EST

Spoke the fanboy, if I am correct AMD just came out with AM2 so anyone thinking of going that route has a lot of option going CD2, currently you can have 2GB 800 RAM, Gigabyte 965 S3 mobo and a E6300 or E6400 for less than $500, which is pretty good since they are great overclockers and outstanding perfomers. You could get a X2 3800 and same ram and respectable mobo for $400-$450 but that would be wasting money since the CD2 is much faster than the 3800. $350 Conroes are keeping up with overclocked FX62 and a $500 is wipping the floor with the fx 62. The one thing I do know is that everone should be happy since AMD was rapping everybody with a x2 3800 for $300, now which ever way you go at least you will not pay to much.


Also about the launch date I would say that we should have some supply but the prices are going to be higher than msrp, so if you wait till september you should be able to get a msrp conroe and have more choices when it comes to motherboards.

hmm....no oem or boxed Core 2 Duo cpu's listed as yet on NewEgg site.
Searching the site only came up with a desktop configuration w/ conroe 6800 processor

Link:

Seems like those NewEgg Fanboys came out of the gate with a lame horse. Did they tick off Intel somehow?

Or (shudder) did you AMD fanboys somehow hijacked that FedEx delivery truck with all of those Conroe core 2 Duo cpu's and had yourselfs a merry beachparty bonfire? :evil::laugh::evil:

I don't usually buy Intel's cpu's, but if I hijacked a truckload of C2D's, I'd keep two or three for myself, and the rest I'd be selling to you guys. Speaking of, who wants an E6800 really, really cheap?

 

[Sentry2]

There is no E6800.

 

[JayhaVVKU]

God Newegg, come on!

 

[benzylic]

Newegg has the e6300, and e6400 but at extremely gouged prices

[CrystalBay]

$389.00 for the e6300 at gougegg sheesh...

I can pre-order the E6600 for that price in CND dollars :laugh:

 

[Anogar]

Someone typed something in wrong. It's a mistake, and they're apparently working on fixing it.

 

[River Side]

no they're not.. in another thread the guy had a live chat with the rep and they told him to contact the Marketing Department.. meaning prices have been set by them and are not a mistake.. PRICE GOUGING is what it is..
