OK!!!!!!!!! It's official. I talked to a guy at Fry's Electronics who is an enthusiast. He says C2D are ALREADY in the cage and they have TONS of all speeds. They're already SKU'd and in the computer and will go on the shelf next week.

ClubIT has the E6700 OEM in stock...had to place an order!:)

This is disappointing. Intel still dropping the ball.
watch out! It's been the fad lately on these boards and even more on anandtech board for doing one of two things...Quote:

People seem to forget that Intel's main focus is the OEM's. Intel controls the OEM market and has millions of Conroe's to be shipped to the OEM's before the end of the year. AMD on the other hand has a much smaller market share and primarily caters to the enthusiest crowd in the retail channels so they don't have gigantic OEM orders to fulfill at launch. Intel is putting off the release in the retail channel till the 7th to give the OEM partners a head start at getting their systems ready. That's where all the money is and where all the numbers in PC's sold is so that is what Intel cares about. Not a few thousand enthuesiest users that would kill a baby kitten to have a processor a week early lol.Quote:

It's bind bogling that people think that 1000 bulk OEM CPU's should be priced the same as a single boxed retail unit with integrated heat sink, 3 yr warranty that's gone thru a disti and a reseller!!
I don't suppose you got a price list from him, did you?Quote:

they have them in stock but they have a * at the bottom saying theyre just taking the orders and wont ship till the 7th.
With all due respect I paid $580 for my 4200+ X2 ($60 over MSRP) and they were impossible to find over three weeks from advertized release date.Quote:
