New intel CPUs?

'I wonder how those prices compare to the existing ones?'

I made a table for another forum, and the british prices are off a different site but it gives a good idea.

Name	Clockspeed	Cores	Cache	Manufacturing process	Price(USD) 1000		Price(GBP) retail inc vat
E1200	1.6Ghz		2	512KiB	65nm			$53			?
430	1.8Ghz		1	512KiB	65nm			$49			£27.49


Q9300	2.5Ghz		4	6MiB	45nm			$266			?
Q6600 	2.4Ghz		4	8MiB	65nm			$266			£160

Q9450	2.6Ghz		4	12MiB	45nm			$316			?
?

Q9550	2.8Ghz		4	12MiB	45nm			$530			?
Q6700	2.6Ghz		4	8MiB	65nm			$530			£337


E8200	2.6Ghz		2	6MiB	45nm			$163			?
E6550	2.3Ghz		2	4MiB	65nm			$163			£103

E8400	3Ghz		2	6MiB	45nm			$183			?
E6750	2.6Ghz		2	4MiB	65nm			$183			£115

E8500	3.16Ghz		2	6MiB	45nm			$266			?
E6850	3Ghz		2	4MiB	65nm			$266			£160

Hope this helps.

Edit: Yeah, I'm eyeing an E8400... They have the same multi as a E6850, are cheaper and are 45nm. How can you lose?

So after shop mark-up the e8200 can be expected to be about £100? Any comparisons on these against existing chips, may still get an e2180, wondering if it's worth holding out til after xmas, twice the price not likely to be twice the performance right

They're a bit faster clock-for clock than the current Core 2 processors, I think it was a 3600Mhz QX9650 outpaced a 4Ghz QX6850 or something. That being said, the new dual core Penryns are phenomenal buys.

Anyone know if these will work in my Gigabyte P965 DS3 Rev 2?

I think the best way to find out would be to contact Gigabyte as I don't think P965 gets 'official' support for Penryn, but it might come in the form of a BIOS update.
