Would you mind posting a overview or rehosting the pics instead of just posting a link?
They deserve the hits.
Sheesh, and we were complaining that the new 45's would make good multis so much more expensive. Still not the cheap Q6600 glory days of recent, but getting darn close. Possibly better, if your motherboard can push a little FSB.
Well not my hits, I really hate opening a news article just to see a post with a link, I know others share my view and I will leave it at that.
DAM! i'm going to snatch me a 9450 when those prices kick into gear. by then they would have a more stable stepping for higher OC's...stupid 8 multi
Whats difference of qx9650 and q9650? 999$ versus 530$ big difference, worth waiting for q9650 instead of buying qx9650 now?
My guess is the multiplier, qx is unlocked while q is locked.Quote:

The Q9400 is they sweet spot, 8x multi, 6mb of cache for $266. That's not a bad deal.
when is Q3? July?
Hopefully that Q9650 can drop to around $300 in Q4.
Yes! Quad Core 2.83 for $316 is right where the E6600 launched in July of 2006 two years earlier, just for the record.Quote:

E8600 ftw :D
E8600 come to daddy! 10x multiplier is almost like a X8600, still wish it was unlocked though for $500.

lol beat me to it by a sliver of a second :up:Quote:

cool. they should have published the prices of penyrns 3xxxx series
great, another price drop, but how about some availablility on those q9450's and q9550's, eh intel ???? :confused: :shakes:
mmmm 8600s will be fun times.
let me guess...

i'll likely be getting a q9650 in q1 or q2 09 as my final upgrade for this system(before nehalem/k11/PPC/who knows)
Almost. But Q6600 is almost a certain EOL in Q4 and Q6700 to follow soon after if not the same time.Quote:

Dumbest comment ever. In that case you basicly got screwed the day you bought any type of electronics. Always something better or cheaper in the very near future.Quote:

It's not dumb, but it's hard to swallow a price drop soon after splashing down $400 on a CPU, we all know hardware depreciates...and fast. But it's still a bitter pill to swallow.
when you know it in the first place, why complain. I bough ddr3-1800 for 360€ and now 6 month later i get the same sticks for 260€, thats life.Quote:

Aren't the 45 nm 1,5Mb L2 Pentium dual-cores due out for q3 as well?:confused:
I wondered about the same thing!Quote:

Yes it cost me 400.00 but I have enjoyed it and so far has lasted from the 1900XTX - the 3780x2
when I upgrade this summer to the GT200 or 4000series that video card will last me a long time and so will
my next INTEL upgrade this fall/winter
Iam also upgrading my water cooling system that is 4 yrs old
upgrading every 3-6 months to the latest thing gets very expensive vs holding out for meaningfull upgrades but don't be cheap on the front end.
Don't complain get a gameplan together.
as said before Q6600 + 8800ultra still competitive 2yrs later
First we need to see the Q9xxx in the shops before we can talk about a price cut. According to the price list, the Q9550 is the winner if it'd be available for purchasing.

damn q9550 look like it worth the wait at $316, I was gona get a 9450 ot xeon x3350 but that extra multi headroomm maybe help me get 4ghz+ 24/7 on my current board/
The same price point the Pentium D 830 (the first dual core CPU) launched at. ;)Quote:

q9450 was the most popular of the cpu's, and that went down in price only a little bit, no big deal, and it got replaced by something very slightly better, also no big deal.Quote:

Isnt Q3 when nehalem is supposed to be launched? Its better to just hold out for that if anyone was looking to make the jump to an Intel quad from any cpu.
Always happens with early adopters :p:Quote:

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?
I would expect august or late july. But most likely primo/mid august.Quote:
