Core 2 Quad 6600 drops at $530
Roadmap: Prices are going down
Intel is getting ready for AMD's counter attack. As of 22nd of April Core 2 Quad Q6600 will drop to $530. Today you have to spend around $851 to get this beast.
This CPU has four cores and works at 2.4 GHz and total of 8 MB of cache.
The most expensive XQ6700 still costs $999 and this wont chance till Q3 when Intel plans to reveal QX6800 clocked at 2.93 GHz.
Q6400 is deleted from the roadmaps and won't be released at all but in Q3 QX6600 clocked at 2.4 GHz will drop to $266 only.
Intel will also introduce a new Quad core called Q6700 but we don’t know what will be the difference compared to QX6700 as the spec looks identical.
Intel drops prices on 22nd of April
Roadmap: One month to go
There will be a massive price cut scheduled for late April. On the 22nd Intel plans to cut Core 2 Duo E6700 price from current $530 to $316.
The Core 2 duo E6600 clocked at 2.4 GHz will drop from $316 to $224.
E6420 and E6400 both clocked at 2.13 GHz drop from $224 to $183. E6420 is a new CPU and will have 4MB of cache while 6400 remains at 2 MB only.
Core 2 duo E6320 CPU clocked at 1.86 with 4 MB cache will enter the market at $163 while E6300 will drop from $183 to $163.
Core 2 Duo E4400 clocked at 2 GHz and FSB 800 will start selling the same day for $133 while the currently selling E4300 at 1.8 GHz will drop from current $163 to $113.

parece que a Intel riscou o Q6400 dos seus planos mas em compensaçao o QX6600 vai descer para os 266$
tb vai lançar um novo Quad core o Q6700 .
e a noticia que mtos os que ainda nao teem C2D esperavam :
E6700 = 316$
E6600 = 224$
E6420 (4Mb cache) & E6400 = 183$
E6320(4mb cache) & E6300 = 163$
cumps
Vamos ter os novos E6420 com 4Mb cache ( mesmo que E6600) a cerca de 183$ , um excelente negocio
- E6700 = 316$
- E6600 = 224$
- E6420 (4Mb cache) =183$
- E6400 = 183$
- E6320(4mb cache) = 163$
- E6300 = 163$
- E4400 = 133$
- E4300 = 113$
New Xeons and pricecuts in Q3
Intel will be releasing new Xeon models in Q3 this year. The quad core 5300 series will get a 3.0GHz part to take the lead from the current 2.66GHz model. The single processor line up will get a 2.66GHz part as well. Besides higher clocks the new models will remain identical to the current parts.
Additionally Prices for most Xeon models will be lowered in a very aggressive way, obviously to battle AMD's Barcelona chip. A quad core Xeon could be yours for just over $200 (1.6GHz model) in July. For a full list of new prices check out DailyTech.

um Xeon Quad-core por cerca de 200€ parece-me bem

Normal igual ao Q6600.
Pena que seja só em Q3,mas já não é mau.
mais bus? eu vejo e k tem o dobro d memoria cache...
alguem sabe o muilti do E6320? será 9?

grande novidade
isto so demonstra o poderio da empresa microsoft que utiliza uma estrategia de marketing infalavel um corte drastico nos preços que irá atrair paletes de clientes
resta saber o que irá fazer a amd pra travar o bill gates
daqui a dois anos temos processadores a 5 euros lol
até eu ja espero ansiosamente
cumps
Acho que estas a confundir microsoft com intel... é um bocado difrente.
então assim sendo ñ vai dar para OC muito.. iamos precisar de valores de fsb perto de 490 para o metermos a 3.4Ghz, isto se o cpu ñ tiver fsb wall tbm antes disso.. e nem todas as boards fazem 490 estáveis.. pena, tava interessado nele por causa dos +2mbs de cache adicionais..
acho que estava a ser irónico, n sei...
