    so its now april 24th, and i see no price cuts.

    whats the deal? i figured retailers should have lowered their prices by now since the cuts took place yesterday. i was looking forward to picking up a 920, but they are still going for 238 bucks. what gives?

    they will sell current inventory based on costs at time of purchase. they don't plan on losing money because intel lower prices for new orders. whew.

    Then Newegg must sell a hell a lot of AMD chips as opposed to Intel. On Newegg more often than not start selling AMD chips at the lower price a fewdays before the price cut takes effect.

    Oh, today in Israel we have seen the price cut. 930 that had yesterday the price of 2200-2300 (~480 USD) NIS is today selling for 1442 NIS (~306 USD).

    That is a 35% cut.

    We are all shocked (and happy )

    What have the 940s been running in the US? I see that they're now ~$275 shipped. I assume that's the 'old' price...?

    They were 423$ So, that's already a huge cut! Though Newegg still hasn't taken that greatly into effect leaving them at 378$

    Not sure why you are not seeing the price cut. I just saw 930 selling for $215 at mwave. 940 selling for $253 + shipping. Thats a huge price cut.

    new seems to have pulled the majority of intel chips off their listings. Im guessing it will adjust prices asap to remain competitive.

    Yeh at some places your seeing the effects starting to kick in Newegg on the other hand not fully yet.

    ZipZoomFly has most of it kicking in.
    MonarchPC not at all yet.
    MWave is basically the one that has basically all of it kicking in.
    EXCaliburPC.com has most of it kicking in.

    newegg does not have the 920 anymore, so im assuming they are starting to make changes. they 930 is still overpriced according to the charts.

    ZZF has the 920 for 212 bucks. im so going to buy one of those.
