Intel price drop 21/22 July

[chaparral]

any confirmation on what the final prices will be here in the uk? I know the batch prices...but for the first few weeks there not accurate representations.

I see that the E8500 are only £100 to buy now (are they meant to drop even lower )

 

[ps3ud0]

I think £100 the best youd find for E8500 - perhaps some suppliers have done the price drop already...

£100?! Cheapest I can find is £130 + £6 delivery ..

edit; found where it's £100 .. a very special place indeed XD

edit again; out of stock though

grr i dont want the Q6600 to drop in price any more! gotta sell mine

 

[cliffy]

Looking around i have seen q9550 for £235, Q9450 for £209, Q9400 for £189 and a E8600 for £215 those are quoted as pre-release guaranted prices will drop lower

Hmm dont suppose if anyone knows about the intel e5200. I was kinda hoping for it be released with these price drops but i havnt read anything.

Whats the e5200? Surely the e7xxx are the crippled wolfdales? Or do Intel plan on releasing e2xxx equivalents?

Seems to have been forgotten about alongside the Q8200, the budget quad.

edit; @ ghost, the E5200 I believe is 2.5Ghz Wolfdale and I did see the pricetag of $80 thrown about but that seems unrealistic tbh

a guy from benchtec manage to get 6 ghz 1.84v on cascade cooling

other guy form the same bench team pulled this on dry ice

Ridiculous if the mobo can handle the FSB, think mine tops out at about 480FSB so an E8500 should get pushed on it!

Shouldnt top out at that for dual cores. My previous p35 board hit 520mhz fsb with default mobo voltages. My current x38 does 510mhz again without changing voltages.

With the latest bioses, p35 and x38/48 boards should be pretty good. 500fsb shouldnt be a problem.

Fully agree. There is no real reason that a P35 or X38/48 should'nt reach well over 500fsb, as the screenie below proves.

Ah on dual core might be different, only tested on my Q6600 which topped out at 4.1ghz (456fsb) or 480x8 was best FSB I could get out of it

Well, the thread is about the E8600 dual core

If it can't, then there's something wrong with them.
