4400 in stock at newegg

I have a feeling that the 4400+ and 4800+ will be in very limited supply for a while perhaps due to the fact the core is the same as DC Opterons and they will get priority.

Newegg has the 4400+ right now........ Here :toast: :toast:

Probably true. Particularly the 4400+, that being the X2 "part to buy" due to cache and price and o/c potential.

Coming from a FX55, I'm a little leary as to how high the 4400 will clock compared to a 4800. When do you think egg will get some 4800's?

all newegg's seem to be CCBWE 0519 steppings.

In Japan the 4800+ has been delayed until July but that is just retail I think.

Its listed at like $590. How is $639 a $100 price gouge? Also reading some of Tank Guys comments these chips tend to make them like less than $5. So $639 would be about $50 over what they pay. These places want to make money :) If you want to see price gouges wait until its been OOS for months and everyone raises the price to like $800! Its all supply and demand. With low stock and high demand prices go up.

I actually bought AMD stock two days ago, no way I am buying this 4400. But if people are willing to pay this extortion price I am going to earn on the stock, so far (two days only) I am up $300. Keep up the fever. :banana:

Sell it when it hits $600 and get a 4400+ ... think of it as a free CPU ;)

You know I started building my own systems like 7-8 years ago with AMD processors because I could buy $40-60 CPU that could keep up with Intel's best. Now the last CPU I bought costed me $332. I am wondering how stupidly I was drawn into this over the years. Actually mostly in the last year. I am thinking AMD must be doing good as long as this fever stays but I am thinking of investing in Intel too just to cover my butt. :D

I got very lucky somehow:)

Your having better luck. Maybe if I don't see anything by the 24th I will call. My email responses so far basically tell me to watch the ETA on the website. The latest:

The only thing I can tell you is to check back on the website for the most current ETA. When it says in stock then inquire about your status at that point we will be able to assist you in getting it as soon as possible. Thank you.

looks like newegg sold out of the 4400+ already.

The price you're quoting is for retail CPUs. Wait until Newegg starts selling retail 4400+ for $700.

I have found one place "in stock" but OVER $700 for the 4400+.

Fry's Electronics already has the price sticker up for the 4400+ at $599 OEM, they expect them by the end of the month!

Not exactly difficult to sell out when they receive in the most case single digit quantities (certainly for the Toledos anyway)!

Somewhere those go.

Certainly they make more than 200 X2:s a day.. :stick:

yes but at the moment they are going into either systems or Opterons (the toledo version that is). Manchesters have a more abundant stock. I also notice that they launched retail in Akiba over the weekend and they didnt have stock of the 4400+ and the 4600+ and 4800+ sold out very quickly. (No idea of volumes involved though).

WTF's up with AMD not meeting demand? I dunno about you but I'd rather sell $600-$1100 X2's than $145 cheapo 3000's. Maybe they need to shut down everything but 57's and X2's for a couple weeks at their SINGLE fab. Also how about some 2000Mhz and 1800Mhz clocked ones?

AMD is making Opterons, that's the business what they want, enthusiats hobbyist etc, they have 'had' since the first Athlons.
