Another Intel price cut (20% on assorted cpus)
 

Intel to Slash Desktop CPU Prices by up to 20 Percent, Add New Models
Taiwanese industry observer Digitimes compiled a comprehensive list of price-cuts sourced from motherboard manufacturers. The list presents some interesting data apart from a few revelations. New CPU models will be added, existing models might be displaced from their price-points, resulting in price-cuts amounting to as high at 20 percent the existing price.

• New CPUs will be added to Intel's lineup, notably the Core i7 975 (3.33 GHz, $999), Core i7 950 (3.06 GHz, $562), Core 2 Quad models Q8400 (2.66 GHz, $183), Q8400S (2.66 GHz, $245), Core 2 Duo E7600 (2.93 GHz, $133), Pentium E6300 ($84) and Celeron E1600 ($53)
• Several existing models will face price-cuts ranging between 10 and 20 percent. The biggest price-cut is that of Core 2 Quad Q9300 (19.92%)
• From the absence of price changes for Core i7 models 940 and 965 XE, and their existing price-points getting new models, we can infer that they will be replaced by models 950 and 975 XE

All prices are in USD, prices per unit in 1000-unit quantities.

You see how there is a Core I7 950 on that list?

Don't forget that 975 :eek: Supes did you see that :happy1:

This is happening because of the new steppings mainly... but 10% aint much which is about how much all the others are being reduced.

When are the 975's being released?

April from what ive heard.
