Nice prices. Very cheap

When can I preoder the new quads though?

Steedie · 14 Jan 2008 at 19:02

Nice one!

Still, I'm more interested in the new quads, any chance of an ETA mate?

Duke · 14 Jan 2008 at 19:03

Chart to make it easier to compare.

Not sure I can release any info about the Quad eta, but looks like it won't be this month

HeX · 14 Jan 2008 at 19:24

Any ideas about quantities you are getting in?

None yet, but will update as I get more solid info.

The 8400 with an extra 2MB cache will be £30 cheaper than a 6850, awesome

Is it likely we'll see the new quads in Feb/March this year?

The E8400 looks like the best deal atm E8500 is too much for just 160 Mhz :eek:

March/April last I heard.

Just if AMD could push something that was even just a little bit better than the current quads from intel we would see intel's new quads within a week lol!

do you need ddr3 for these ? would they work in a p5b deluxe wifi? are they going to overclock well ?

Depends on how much Intel is speed binnng these babies, I saw a review somewhere where a 8400 sample didn't clock nearly as high as the 8500 they had.

No DDR2 is fine, although you'll have to check Asus' website for compatibility (and a bios update if it is possible)

You don't need DDR3. A quick look on your motherboard manufacturers site shows your board will support the new 45nm chips, although you will probably need the latest BIOS.

Little more than I expected to be honest. Not too bad considering, though. Guess prices'll settle down a bit in a couple of months when I get a bit more money coming my way, though.

Deluxe1 · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:05

Wasnt expecting them to be so pricey,will still be getting the E8500.

Should settle eventually at the price of a q6600/e6850.
