Intel quad-core, dual-core processor price drops sighted |
Ó
PC Gamer's Logan Decker managed to course through the offerings at online hardware retail sites and learned that some price tags for certain Intel processors have dipped. Nay, strike that - the tag nose-dived a good amount from the original price, and in some cases, even up to 50%.
According to him, prices for Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6700 (2.66 GHz @ 4 cores) quaddie dropped from a hefty US$ 530 to just US$ 266, about as much as you could have gotten a Q6600 for (a few months back).
True enough, the Q6600 (2.4 GHz @ 4 cores) itself had 42 bucks lopped off the top (now at US$ 224), while the much cheaper dual core E6850 (3.0 GHz @ 2 cores) rests at a tear-inducing US$ 183. Sorry, no QX's here.
These numbers are based on 1,000 unit, priced orders, so essentially the amount would play close to - if not two dozen smackeroos above - the prices we stated earlier.
These prices happen to be reflected in the updates selling threads all over Newegg.com, so expect a good amount of haggling and price dip competition. We'll keep you updated on further developments - especially if AMD answers back with a Phenom price stunt of their own.
