you forgot server. ;)

**cough cough**

I didn't mean a butler but that would be nice too

I'm a little baffled by the Q9650 which I've read is going to replace the QX. I heard it was going to be selling in the low-mid 500s, which I thought was pretty wild. But another thread has an article where the same $530 price shown in the op was followed by the phrase "in 1000 unit trays". I've never seen that phrase, but I thought it implied that $530 was wholesale, but I'm still reading in lotsa places that it's in fact the retail price.

ANyone know if this is going to perform like the qx9650?

The price drops are expected in the beginning of July or later?

Yeah, but I was talking about the desktop segment since this thread was about desktop CPUs :)

They’ve already announced new revisions/steppings for certain 45nm Xeons with a lower TDP so they’ve obviously tweaked the process. I imagine the desktop chips will get the same recipe at some point.
