Yorkfield Processors to Start Selling Next Week
- Thread starter Idontcare
- Start date
You bet they will. These are the first affordable alternative to the Q6600 in over a year. They'll sell like Krispy Kreme donuts on the day after Lent.
*Disclaimer: In case I am wrong, I can fall back on the excuse that the Krispy Kreme in my area managed to defy all reason, and somehow went out of business last year.
I think they will sell at the online stores for like:
Q9300 - $300
Q9450 - $350
Q9550 - $560
Anything less and I'll be happy.
Me...wants...Q-9-4-5-0...yes!!!

Edit: After seeing the resellerratings.com look at these folks, I absolutely don't recommend ordering from them. I would wait until a better vendor placed them for sale.
First Q9550's I've seen "in stock" at $580.00.
They also have E8200's in stock for $204 shipped.

Seems like the Q6600 is almost better then the Q9300 as the Q6600 has 8MB vs 6MB on the Q9300, now the Q9450 is a different story

Take a look at the comparison - http://www.xbitlabs.com/articl...y/core2quad-q9300.html

Q9300 is still faster overall, and clock for clock. For the casual overclocker who wants a moderate overclock to around 3.2GHz, I would recommend the Q9300 over the Q6600, as it runs a lot cooler, and the low multi / FSB limitation shoudn't really be an issue until you reach 450FSB+ on most P35 boards.
In terms of heavy overclocking, a Q6600 has the potential to perform slightly better, but only when overclocked in excess of 3.6GHz. It seems even with a good X38 mobo, the FSB wall is around the 470MHz mark, so a Q9300 won't go far beyond ~3.5GHz. As the Xbitlabs article shows, at 3.5GHz a Q9300 is equal to or slightly faster than a Q6600 @ 3.6GHz.

tell newegg that...
They bump prices just cuz people look at an item more on there counter. [which is sad expecially when you find something really nice and cheap and link it, then 100 people click it, you notice it was bumped in price by more then a few dollars.]
Intel will most likely keep the price @ promise. Its the vendors who we have to worry about.
Newegg is special, I'll give you that! They have their page servers track inventory and counter hits to determine a dynamic supply vs. demand curve in real-time...increasing the price as their inventory declines.
It's quite sophisticated, and I actually approve of it. It keeps items in stock for people who are willing to pay a premium for their time of not having to wait for new shipments.

It isn't better, according to benchmarks. Q9300 is better @stock and overclocks higher. Lower temps too.

Hmm? It's basic supply and demand capitalism. I'm fascinated to hear that they actually automated it, and I applaud them for thinking of such an innovative way of optimizing a normal business trend.
It's business as usual for early adopters. The manufacturers drop prices a few months down the road anyway.
nice, wish AMD or I call them MAD can out some poressure on quads soon with a nice future revision that is OCable and maybe add a 10-15% kick over the old cores. That's gonna mix things up for quad market and probably lower the prices a bit.
What, so you'd be happy that they sell out even faster and you'd still end up not getting one? :roll:
It seems other e-tailers do this as well ... Amazon and BUY for example. Although I don't know if their "systems" are as sophisticated. But prices on BUY definitely rise as the item's Sales Ranking rises ...
Well, MC stores have had "Internet Price Matching" on CPUs for over a year or so now. At least twice a week they "survey" the 'Net and adjust their CPU prices to equal the lowest on-line prices they find. The one caveat is that they include shipping price in to the equation. Example ... if an E8400 is $225 + $7 shipping at the lowest priced e-tailer , MC's price will be $232, plus local sales tax of course.
As for whether they will have gonzo prices (a la the E8400 and then the Q6600) on these new CPUs when they release, I kinda doubt it ... Intel won't be trying to clear "excess inventory" on them.
Yes...At least I know I still have a shot. At abused prices I just strike it off the list until far later anyway. At Intel's prices I can get lucky if I'm in X website while in stock. Intel should clamp down on these sites that pull this BS and tell them sell it for what we tell you to without gouging our customers or wait forever for our next shipment. Oh and those Nehalems? Keep dreaming newegg. :disgust:
That's what I'd tell them. Intel should be protecting their customers.
The first E8400's were $209 at newegg. Now shows $239. A $30 premium makes me wait anyway. Sell out I don't care. 15% hike? IF you've got money to blow I guess you don't care.

I guess you didn't understand my reference...Microcenter B&M stores had a sort of launch party for the E8400 by releasing it before people expected - and for $189...I actually bought one of these...
And their current E8400's were priced at $199 last I checked, although sold out just like everyone else. However it actually took my B&M store a few weeks to sell out and remain that way.
The most recent Microcenter B&M stunt was to sell the Q6600 for $199...which is still happening...
Clearly you had no idea what I was talking about
If AMD could get up there and give some competition...make it a game at least...we would have seen more of a drop in Intel product lines...
The fact is 3 core hype or whatever the AMD are clocked too low, offer less power per clock versus core 2 duo architecture and cannot seem to OC worth a crap....Bottomline Intel has no competition or need to drop prices...
I would have thought by now the Q66 would be sub 200 for sure...Thanks to AMD that has not happened...

Intel's in enough anti-trust hot water right now; they don;'t need to be accused of price-fixing in the channel.
