OK so some of you may know im searching for an Certain stepping X2 dualcore with no coldbug that beats my X2 3800. So I went to the show today and nobody had any dualcores. Luckily I know the retailers well(spent lots of $$$) so they gave me some info as to why. It seems there are reports of Opty's going up in price tommorow well the info i received says that while they go up X2's are going down between $50 and $100 depending on model. This seems to correlate as FX 60 just released forcing lower model price drops. I was also informed that there may be a new flavor in the X2 department but they could not confirm what it was. MY guess? X2 5000 2.6 gig 512kb cache which would mean they are most likely fx's with failed 1m l2.
You should probably see price drops effective everywhere by the end of next week so if your in the market for an X2 waiting a week won't hurt. As for me i have 2 retailers making they're wholesalers scour they're warehouses for a certain stepping week batch cpu. Sometimes dealing with people in person has it's benifits :)
