Intel Core 2 Duo G0 Stepping CPUs in July (A Quick Comparsion)

[dan^uk]

This table (produced by me) shows the G0 stepping CPUs that will be available in July (hopefully from OCUK):-

(everything compared at stock speeds with current OCUK prices where possible and assumes every core is used)

The Q6600 destroys everything on price/performance...
(the MHz per £ is a crude method (doesn't take FSB and other factors into account), but reasonably accurate as the processors are all from the same family)

If only G0 Q6600's could be ordered at OCUK.. I assume we only get them when the B3 stock runs out.

it should bee cheaper than this, since intel priced it the same as e6600 was before the coming price drops.. it should be £150+ not £200 but greedy online shops, nothing you can do about it.

In batches of 1000, the E6850 and the Q6600 are both $266 USD (post 22nd July price drop). OCUK already has the E6850 on pre order at £199.74, so it's resonable to assume that the price of the Q6600 will drop to around ~£199.74 (from the current £234.99).

In batches of 1000, the E6600 is also $266 USD at current price level, why why is e6600 not £190 then??.

The E6600 is $224, not $266:-

no i don't understand why ppl keep missing the point. It does not matter what batch costs, its at what price level intel decided to drop the price to and introduce the new model at.

Of course it matters what the batch costs, the OEM & Retail processors don't get released any other way. Intel set the batch price level, then you have distribution costs, marketing, profit, VAT etc etc added on by retailers.

so intel said that the q6600 will come down to e6600 current price level, that is very evident to everyone. So by logic it should be priced around £150-160 nothing more to argue.

Where? The E6600 is $224 and the Q6600 will be $266.

if the e6600 was £190 then ok it shuld be priced at £190 and so on.

My estimate of £199 for the Q6600 is based on OCUK's pre order pricing of the E6850. It costs the same (from Intel) as the Q6600 (post price cut), going through the same distribution channels, having the same levels of markup/profit applied, then VAT etc, so I consider it to be a valid estimate right now.

The pre-order pricing will drop a little on release, but i think it's unrealistic to expect a drop of £70-£80, considering they were already cut a massive amount in June (by OCUK).
