Explains the dramatic Phenom II cuts !

For example, Intel's fastest Q9650 (3.0-GHz, 12 Mbytes L2 cache) is now priced at $316, down 40 percent from $530. That means that Intel's Q9550s, a 2.83-GHz chip with 12-Mbytes of cache, is now a more expensive $369. The Q9550s, however, is also rated at a lower-power 65 watts, rather than the 95-watt envelope that the Q9650 uses, or the Q9550, which also received a more modest 16 percent cut to $266.

I'm wanting one of the Q9550s' but the price is putting me off a little, looks like I'll have to stick with my Q6600 for now but it's always nice to see a price drop
 
Price drops have happened here and the new cpu's have been listed. E5200 is back down to a more reasonable £57 now and the E7500 is listed too.
 
Yeah theres been a few big drops, all apart from the Q9550 which is still suffering from popularity tax. That has not been reduced a penny in many places including ocuk
 
Just shop around if you want cheaper. Other online retailers have the Core2Quads for quite a bit less. As with with all shopping, use Google and online search engines if the lowest price is what you're looking for :)
