Ivy Bridge...How much?

i7-3770K will be around £249.99 inc vat mark according to Kitguru. Around the same price as current i7-2700K. So if I go for i7, I will wait for i7-3770K.

I've been told that the 3750k should be about $220 - Which is around £140.

Doop! · 24 Apr 2012 at 08:50

Can we order before 29th, or will they not appear on the site until then?

I think that is the 1ku wholesale price not retail.

sure... price in $ = price in Ł or €.

always been that.

I'm expecting I5 to come in around £170 mark with some initial discounting making it nearer £150. I don't think the reviews posted yesterday really gave buyers enough information about how these chips perform on average. A lot of reviews seemed to use ES samples and I read on some sites ES chips clocked better than retail and others that retail clocked better.

The simple truth is that the early buyers will be the guinea pigs, so they deserve a good price.

I hope that is the case the director, but I just can't see it. The 2500k can be had for less that £150 delivered, so if the 3570k came in around the same price, I'd be incredibly happy (I bought a Z77 UD5H from OCUK the other week) as I'd prefer one of those over a SB, but I think it will be more in the £170-180 ballpark

I think the i7 3770k will be about 250

mattf · 24 Apr 2012 at 10:32

sorry just saw the above post

3750K estimate prices are looking to be very good, was expecting them to be around £200 so this is a nice surprise!

rotahn · 24 Apr 2012 at 14:08

i think the 3770k will be for sale @ £239.99 inc VAT

MrH · 24 Apr 2012 at 16:22

Are ocUK not allowed to tell us the price until the 29th?

I bought a Z77 board recently too, and I just found out they're all roughly 20 to 30 pounds cheaper this week than the week I bought mine in :/

Kinda annoying

^^ yeah righty come off it

rotahn · 24 Apr 2012 at 18:45

apparently a site advertised them for a few mins by accident.. showed 250 in stock.

how true that is i cannot say as i didnt see it myself. Going from the CPU prices currently though it doesn't seem too far off

Buckster · 24 Apr 2012 at 18:50

ooh ok thanks

jwsg · 24 Apr 2012 at 18:51

There's no need to guess - the prices (once things have settled) will be similar to previous SB prices i.e. £160-170 for 3570K and £240-250 for 3770K. Any more and it's just because it's new and right now you have the discounted SB option.

There will be a whole range soon if you want less cores or lower TDP, and it's hardly worth worrying about a tenner when Z77 motherboards vary by £100.

If that's the price for the 3770k, then you're looking around £170-180 for the 3570k :eek:

Sandy it is then. No wonder they're keeping quiet about the prices.

No, 240 i7 equates to 160 i5
