It is the current top end Intel CPU and the high end always command a price premium. Why not go for the Q6600 and save a lot of cash for not that much performance loss, particularly when overclocked. Oh and welcome to the forums.

According my work colleague today who was with Intel last week in America, there should be some price cuts coming to the Xeon Quad cores atleast...And theyre quite big cuts i think =/.

Sorry i cant help a lot more, but Intel are generally lowering cpu costs over the summer if i remember correctly.

But I'm wondering if there's any point getting cut-price quads, when there's the 45nm processors coming out?

I need to know how much the 45nm processors are going to cost before I can decide whether I can buy a quad core!

indeed as with most pc part price cuts, all it means is there is something newer and better on the way :rolleyes:

more than a quad probably

are the 45nm tht much more powerful than the quad ?

I read that they are having trouble getting "past" 3Ghz with the current Penryn's.. so they will be working on them again to try and remedy that. Still even 3Ghz on a Penryn sounds like a pretty nice chip to me

Please don't ask me where I read it.. lol.
