Conroe X6800 7/27 12:00 PST @ Micro Center

[qdemn7]

Just got this in an email from MC Link Note ONLY the X6800 will be available. The E6XXX are available August 7th.

[GoldenTiger]

Heck yeah!

EDIT: If the E6x00's are only out on August 7th though, that's disappointing .

[savantu]

They're all out on 27th.

Intel said at its earning release that they have $200 million worth of Conroe waffers on inventory => that's at least 2-3 million parts ready for launch ( or 10% of AMDs yearly production )

Go figure...

...And the lion's share will be going to the OEM's. The amount going into the boxed CPU channel is anyone's guess.

You know they're out there because they're already showing up on ebay.

[whoodiestyle]

You're right... they did say all models will be fully stocked in the channel on the 27th, so maybe MicroCenter is just being conservative or is slow to get parts in/wrong .

[BWR]

August 7th?

Thats a random number they pulled outta their ass. The conference call, and many other first hand Intel reports, said release is the 27th. If Dell, Gateway, and all those other companies got my E6600... I hate Intel.

[kais]

luckily they will have conroes, unforunately the conroes will be overpriced by around 100

[Sanborn]

Buying a Core 2 Duo form Microcenter would be about the worst Idea ever. The X6800 from them will probably be $1500 and the 6600 will most likely be $550 knowing how they gouge everything else.

August 7th?

Intel said in their financial report July 27th, but OEM fully stocked at 7th august.

It's not random

[deeznuts]

August 7th?

Thats a random number they pulled outta their ass.

I've seen that date many many times around the net. Not just a random date.

[realsmasher]

the funniest thing about it is that totally overpriced box they want to sell.

[Mikesnav]

damnit.

Need something by the 3rd, so AMD it is... :/

[Sanborn]

damnit.

What? you can't wait 4 days.

[realsmasher]

when you can't wait the 4 days, then the pure power of conroe won't be important for you, so amd is ok anyway

[Sanborn]

you better not give some BS excuse like "I am going to college" either. Not like you would use your computer the first week anways

[Mikesnav]

haha, yeah. College.

Wanted it before I entered, so in case I'd have to RMA something, I'd have it at the latest 2 weeks after class started.

7th of Aug isn't too bad, but all this inventory talk has me thinking I wont be able to get my hands on a E6300 for a reasonable price until later on. (which I've always thought of silly considering Intel's manufacturing capacity)

[Sanborn]

Do you not have a current computer you can use for like the first month? C2D is worth waiting for.

[irev210]

I know for a fact there is LOTS of E6600 and E6700 being delivered to distributors on the 27th of july.

There should be stock by the 7th, and there should be semi normal prices.
