K8L is expected 1 year later ?
:off:
K8L is expected early next year as the first 65nm FX. It may or may not match Kentfsield that will be the XE at that time. It may or may not match the price either.
Love the prices.:banana:
This is great news for us, the more the competition heats up, the less we spend ;)
From what I read on Dailytech K8L is going to require another new socket type anyway so is not an AM2 upgrade as such.
Looks like Brisbane and other revision G's will be the AM2's saviour, maybe...Quote:
Unless AMD's plans change drastically between now and 2008, the processors will require a new socket.
It's probably smart to sit back until the dust settles after the Core Duo 2 launch to see who's The Boss.
BTW D805 & D820 for $93. What a massive price drop on the D820! :eek:
Really? It makes mobos cheaper? Have you checked the prices on some of the premium good clocking mobos for AMD? I remember I can get an IC7 for a little over 100 bucks.Quote:

The German govt wants their money back.

Intel Core 2 Launch Will Make Dual-Core Chips to Cost under $100
Pictures, which look like slides from the roadmap of Intel Corp. have been published by an Asian web-site, revealing that Intel’s highly-anticipated Conroe processors will be launched in less than two months from now and also uncovering Intel’s intention to decease the price of entry-level dual-core chips to the levels of value Intel Celeron processors.

that's a $93 for an 805 this coming fall/winter...
that price seems about right, how can anyone want a pentium chip when am2 and conroe will be out?
THose chips are cheep, does anyone now the prices of the Xeon's?
Intel's last few major launches (Yonah) for example, were targetted to release an appreciable amount to OEMs and system builders. I would expect that Intel will also flood the channel suppliers as quickly as possible. My guess is you could by a Dell, HP or such the day of launch, but it will likely take a few weeks to see them pop up at new egg for example.Quote:

Are you kiddin', at 93 bucks I can drop into my current MB/system and get a nice boost while I wait for Kentsfield. There will be a decent surge in demand even after Conroe launches because at those prices, heck I spend more going out to dinner with the family. I think I can skip a weekend of dinner out to get a new CPU.Quote:

Smart move for intel, bad for us:mad:

Since when is a IC7 a "high premium good clocking mobo?" A Ultra-D is just 100-125.:)Quote:

And just because the chipset is cheaper doesn't mean the rest of the motherboard can't be expensive to build making the overall price higher.
If you check the budget boards (not retail but OEM price) you'll see the chipset makes up about 80% of the price. If the chipset is 25% cheaper you'll see 20% cheaper motherboards.
If you check more glamarous boards the chipset only accounts for 50% of the price, so the mobo is 12,5% cheaper. Since motherboard producers focus on a product for a certain budget range you'll always see 200$ motherboards no matter how cheap the chipsets.
Except this one will cost 316.... when available.... (we can't say for sure it will be widely available the 23th of July)Quote:

If you spend that much going out to dinner, you're in the wrong market. I spend that much on dinner for an entire month.Quote:

Ave,
I got a question... looking at this chart, there a 945 (no VT). What does the "No VT" mean? I was gonna purchase a Pentium D 930 in the next few days... i was pretty happy to see the price go down from $200 to $178 come June 4th. But the 945 (no VT) 3.4 GHz is $163... even more inviting!! I just don't know what the "no VT" stands for.
Are these gonna be available in US, online stores like newegg, zipzoomfly, come June 4th & July 23rd?
Thanks.
