Intel is set to cut prices for its Core 2 dual and quad-core products next week, online retailers have already taken the plunge. The chip giant also launched the Core 2 Duo E6320 and E6420, now with 4MB of L2 cache. Intel prices the new E6x20 models the same as the E6x00 models. Under the new pricing structure, Intel offers its Core 2 processors starting at $113 per unit, in 1,000 unit quantities.

  • Q6600 - 2.40 GHz - $530 - $659 - $559.99

Waiting for these price cuts doesnt make much sense if u r buying a mid or high end processor!! With Barcelona coming up, thats the thing to wait for!!

Yeah, I do know that... But a guy whose gonna spend close to $500-600 on a CPU can get an Opteron (Barcelona) and a nice Foxconn,TYAN or supermicro board and make a killer workstation!!
 
11k now its damn good but now september i guess it may fall ard more..since the quad core price goin to be so low 266$.......

so i better opt for am2(vfm machine) now instead of crying........why i bought this and than price cut happens
 
Too Frustrating for AMD X2 and Intel Core 2 Duo Buyers who had bought them 2-3 months back. Imagine people have got E6400 for 12 k and now E6600 is available for Rs. 11000/-
 
ya but i think from feb only we knew this was goin to happen.....that e6600 to b ard 12-13k...but its more sweeter news now ..at that time i was waiting for this fall so that i can buy 2nd hand for 7-8k..but now seeing the market spending so much also doesnt make sense becoz again there will b a big price cut though u have to wait....

but for ppl who buys once and forget for 2-3 years..its best time to buy...

but for ppl like me who changes stuff often a year i would still stay...stay away frm c2d market unless u have big pocket since all will run for quad core at diwali time....

lol..it jus looks like share bazar
 
Its not a big deal.

You always pay a premium for the best.

Ive bought the E66 for 17k earlier, and sold it for barely 13k.

But I enjoyed it to the MAX. for the 2 - 3 months I had it.

I just bought the E4300 5 days back for 7900. Big deal. Im happy coz Its reached 3.37 Ghz :p.. And even booted 3.6 Ghz :)...

lol......that guy excited us all....we for the first time felt that wht downside intel did we gettin even better rate than that.....lol

12.5k i think after dollar conversion we should get that much only.....
