April 20th Price Drop

They have already gone most of the way towards the price drop pricing on the Q6600, also there is a lot of grey stock on these so they do tend to come in under Intel offical pricing anyways.

I don't think the digitimes Q6600 prices are right anyways I though Q6600 would be $216?

The old 65nm C2D have drops as well but only to bring them in line with 45nm C2D clock wise.
 
Hope someone can find out from ocuk whether there will be a price drop today or not as i'll definately buy a Q6700 for the current q6600 price, the extra multi will be hand with my watercooling.

I emailed a competitor asking if there would be price drops tomorrow, they said:

"The price drops announced by Intel only applies to new stock that we get in. As such, it can sometimes take up to six weeks for this price drop to come to our shores.

Best regards,"

So i guess we'll be waiting 2 weeks+ from ocuk and other big stores with large amounts of stock still left. Smaller stores will stock less cpu's so they will probably get the price drop quicker.

I'm sorry thats completely incorrect, distributors will sell at the new price from monday onwards, sometimes there will be a DPA in place meaning the disties can ship stock out on the friday for delivery to the resellers on the monday after the price drop.
 
It's even simpler than that - Intel simply credit the stores if there is a manufacturer price drop so it's possible to realign prices overnight if they want. Of course the stores want to sell at the highest price they can...
 
Interesting, didnt know that.

Tut tut to that online store that told me that! I'll be checking all computer stores on monday to look for the price drop, i'd definately get a Q6700. 10x multi, approx 430fsb min * 10 = 4.3ghz, voltage and temperature pending of course, but with my watercooling im hoping for 4ghz+ really.

Do Q6600/Q6700 work fine with 1.55-1.6v like the e6400 and similar cpu's?

My Q6600 had 1.58v going through it for 3.8Ghz and 1.52v for 3.6Ghz. Still going strong in the blokes pc that bought it off me.
 
I'm also keen to get the Q6700, but it looks like it will be the same situation as with the Q9450 - it may be better than the Q6600, but the price difference means you're better off with the Q6600. I've only found 1 store online that has the price cut in place on the Q6700 and it's about 30% more than the Q6600.
 
well i've seen it VERY cheap already today, so some places have already put the price to the new price, unfortunately ocuk havent done that yet.
