Because it will soon be no longer available and the price will go up the less stock there is I imagine.

it is known old tech goes up in demand.

you should have been around back in the amd x2 days/x3 days and back when ddr3 started replacing ddr2 yet ddr2 was still in high demand and the ram value because it was no longer made shot up like a rocket. or was that ddr when ddr2 came out?

I understand what you guys are saying but, there are still a reasonable amount of SandyBridge chips for sail, and on top of that having looked around at other sites OCUK seem to be the only ones bumping up the price where others are dropping it. Which is a shame because I like buying from OCUK.

Sorry if I sound like I'm just moaning. I'd understand not dropping the price but pricing it more than the 4770k just doesn't sit well with me.

post more and one day you will gain access to the members market.

Quite a lot of people are selling their last gen stuff so they can upgrade to haswell
 
Looking at the prices of the Gigabyte motherboards, the new Z87 boards are more expensive then their Z77 counterparts. Is that because Gigabyte have uprated the specs by adding in more/better power phases or are Intel charging a higher license fee for each chipset?

No 6-core Haswell ?

Nope and there won't be a 6 core mainstream CPU from Intel for the foreseeable future. I can understand why Intel haven't given us a 6 core CPU for the masses as there is simply no reason to have one, most computer applications can now be accelerated by additional parallel processors whether that takes the form of an iGPU or a dedicated graphics card.

This. Seem to be about £20 more expensive than the Z77 boards.

There is already a 6 core mainstream CPU - the Sandybridge-E Core i7-3930K.

I guess they aren't updating that for now.

(My 6-core Phenom II X6 1100T CPUs will do very nicely for a very long time yet, so no big issue I guess)

450 quid is a bit high to be considered mainstream.

Socket 2011 is an enthusiast socket.

Is Broadwell confirmed/likely to be on 1150?

Not confirmed but highly likely as Intel's new way at looking at "Tick-Tock" (if sandybridge and Ivybridge are anything to go by) is to release the new socket and microarchitecture then make it smaller (Boardwell is mean to drop from the 22nm to 14nm). Sandybridge brought huge performance increases, and Ivybridge the 22nm chips then Haswell brought massive power saving so I can see boardwell being nothing more then a die shrink with a few performance benefit's as those that went before it maybe Skylake will be the next massive step forward like Westmere was to Sandybridge. :)
