Intel Price Cuts : Quad core for £350 ?

[Subliminal Aura]

Fortunately I did not click the buy button on the E6420 when I spotted a Q6600 for £350 - Looks like someone is testing the waters.

Hopefully this will be the mark that the quads will be going for in the near future.

where ?

It's out there in the UK for £350inc for a Q6600 (Intel BX80562Q6600) search harder and have some respect for Spie and OcUK.

As I said I hope these price cuts migrate across all the etailers soon.

I wasnt asking for a compeitor....

I was just trying to clarify if it was a "UK" sourced product... as most sites are around £ 500+

Yup UK sourced boxed brand new.

Ouchy hurts very much to see it confirmed at 350 quid, just brought it for £530 about 3 weeks ago...

so goes on life

Still cant see it at that price lol, what is the price of the E6600 on that site though ?

E6600 is on at crap price : £177inc
E6320 : £115inc

The Q6600 could be a goof up as I have bought an E6300 for 80inc in the past.

Should I just place an order ? I'm not actually a fan of the quads

Mind letting me in on this source? Privately of course? My email is in my trust

Which email ? sky or hotmail ? Small world I used to work at sky once upon a time.

Looks like Subliminal Aura ain't lying, it's out there lads. Took me a while to find it though.

...I'm sure OCUK aren't liking all this, I think we should leave it how it is...it's out there...just required a bit of thinking outside the conventional methods of searching! Please no emailing in trust either...ocuk do a good job here, and I don't think we should abuse this place. I'm not after a Q6600 anyway, so don't worry OCUK, but guys, just wait a couple of weeks, then everyones prices will be this low. Of course, if you find it yourself, hats off to you .

In total agreement with cobxx - I think ocuk know the facts already and tbh I'd prefer buying here - ... As I have stated earlier this thread is just an indication of prices in the near future.

If anything the etailer is out of stock of it anyway and so can just play the waiting game ie give us a tasty price now and make us wait for it - if not several weeks when the real market prices kick in anyway. I will be calling them tomorrow to push them to give me what I have paid for.

£375 from OcUK

Nice to see OcUK on the ball and again it's looking like verifying the price range quoted...

£350 from an unreputable cheapo supplier
£375+ from someone who you can trust.

So to summarise : Q6600 for £350-£400inc.

The next question is whether you'd go for the Q6600 which is really a 2 x dual core hack and nothing more or splash out on Intels latest offering.

Nonetheless a quad core at that price is a blooming bargain.
