Intel i5 2500T - Retailers?

[Serra]

I'm looking for an i5 2500T (the low voltage variant), does anyone know where I can get one? I can only find two sites advertising them online and both are asking $270, but at ~$50 above where the price should be that's just not happening.

I can find all sorts of 2500K's, just not the T's... has anyone heard about inventory arriving later maybe?


I tried e-mailing NewEgg to see when they were going to get them in, but all I got back was a thoroughly unhelpful reply along the lines of "we do not currently stock this item. If you would like us to, e-mail our marketing department at blah blah blah".

None of my local dealers (in Norway) got it in stock either, but the strange part, many have listed 2005T and 2005S with the same price, and slightly higher than 2500

T and S should be cheaper. It seams to be some kind of mess in source-prices.

EDIT: Many have EAT for 2500T: 28.01.2011 , at least for Norway.

In my country actually i5 2400S is cheaper than i5 2400.

What is good on S or T is that despite having low clock frecuencys, their TURBO is very high, for example on 2400S TURBO is up to 3.3ghz, 100Mhz lower than 2400.
So you can overclock 2400S up to 3.8ghz as regular cpu's.
