E8500 is 9,5 multi ??

[Kasparz]

Q9450 looks like a winner for budget.

[Fixxxer]

Very interesting prices.

[Movieman]

The E8400 and the Q9450 are very attractive for their price. But I'm interested about the Skull CPUs. How much for the two 3.4GHz of quad-core goodness?

Xeons, or better yet, Harpertowns, socket 771..Haven't seen a listing yet for them at 3400 except in that display rig Intel had, just at 3160 with a 9,5 multi..

[Hornet331]

uhhh in €uro land this means super cheap dualcores.

Way too much.

oohwee?

[LuckyNV]

wow very impressive

[RPGWiZaRD]

Wow, very satisfying prices there, especially Q9450 and E8400 are ones I will keep an eye for. I feel like quad core is what I will go for but in case the dual cores will overclock like crazy and for that price the choise might not be so clear. Looks like AMD won't be able to push the prices as high as they'd want/need which I think will bother AMD quite a lot. Basicly Intel's pricing their new lineup like it would be current 65nm C2D/Q getting some slight price cuts, amazing. Pricewars FTW!

Q9300 isn't interesting at all. I'd prefer Q9450 - 12Mb L2, x8, 4-cores... It can certainly be overclocked to 3.6GHz on air... - the best of quads. E8400 will be an optimum in <200$ range.

I missed the comparison chart. If that chart is correct, these will be awesome. The increase in video encoding and game fps justifies this purchase for me. I wonder how much better the 45nm are at crunching? I guess I'll have to find out...

Yorkie at 3000mhz is damned close to a Q6600 at 3500mhz..

QFT , hope at this time Motherboards handle the multi of 8 well

[alucasa]

It looks like successor of my dual woodcrest is coming next year.

The reduction in temps and decrease in power looks awesome and should mean greater overhead for overclocking

I read somewhere that the SSE4 DIVX benchmark used is misleading because they used an "altered" algorithm that gives very poor visual quality (thus the increase in framerate)...not sure if it's true but I'll see if I can find the source...

[Spawne32]

THINK OF THE POSSIBILITY'S! oh man this is makin me drool

If only they had some decent multipliers for the lower priced chips...

[junkun13]

prices for the mass!

[Obscured]

prices for the mass!

... then AMD will certainly die with its native Quad-Core.

With the drop in heat output I think you'll see stable 4ghz systems on air for 24/7 use..

[rozzyroz]

wow! serious sam and half-life got some nice bumps in performance there.

[xenoasd]

im definitely gonna get that q9450 or the q9300

[Bigchrome]

E8400 is the only one I like there....Q9450 would have been nice at 9 multi.

[hoax]

woot! this was so worth waiting for!

thanks for posting
