My birthday is on the 28th July. I wonder what I will be getting, Q6600 or E6850?

That's a lot earlier than expected.

Penryn must be ahead of schedule.

I think Penryn NDA is lifted 15th July.

Yeah the 15th apparently.

However, industry sources recently told TG Daily that a whole bunch of non disclosure agreements (NDAs) for the pre-release and distribution of 45 nm processors are already in place and carry a July 15 expiration date. “Pre-release”, of course, does not mean that Intel will launch the processor at this time; however, we received confirmation from our sources that initial sample shipments of Penryn are scheduled to begin late in Q2 and early Q3. We also expect the NDAs also to apply to the press, which means that first real-world Penryn benchmarks are likely to be published on July 15.

Nice find mate! I've been holding out for a Quad Core Q6600 for ages.
I was expecting them to cut the price in September just in time for my
Birthday, but hell I can have my present earlier :D
 
Hmm, with these price drops would it be worth waiting to do my upgrade? I ordered an E6600 yesterday but could always cancel.

I'm going away on Monday for a month if that makes any difference.
