Will SB Prices drop when SB-E comes out?

[Jordan97]

Do you think there'll be a price drop in the current Sandybridge CPU's when Sandybridge-E arrives? Or will it not affect it?

Also are there any confirmed details as to when they will come out?

I doubt they'd drop because of sandy bridge e as they're two completely different platforms.

Sandy Bridge E is being released in 2012:

sandy bridge will likely get a price drop soon as bulldozer is 1-2 months away and llano has just been released, a lot of competition for intel, they will have to lower their prices once bulldozer is out.

Intel doesn't really compete with itself so only a small price drop.
