Darn it!

[Getback]

Intel is to quit making the several n45s which includes the E8190. Darn them. Oh wait, what the heck is the the E8190!

Hate to see the E4600 discontinued.  That CPU will run at 3.4GHz all day long.  Damn near as fast as the E8500 when it is clocked up.

So is the next price cut coming at the end of this month when the i7 starts shipping or in January?

[Skuzzy]

Actually, Intel already announced the price cuts and they should all be in effect by the 15th of November.  None of the price cuts are on any of the popular CPU's.

The i7's are priced so far above most all the other CPU's, they really do not have to lower prices.  The current Wolfdale/Penryn cores are faster than anything AMD has to offer at the moment, so Intel really has no incentive to lower the prices much, if at all.

The big downside to having no competition in the upper end of the CPU market.

..........so Intel really has no incentive to lower the prices much, if at all..

except the fact the economy is tanking and no one will buy them ..

[Skuzzy]

Ohhhh, you underestimate the bleeding edge geeks out there.  The fact they are priced high is incentive for them to go out and buy them so they can claim the geek crown for themselves.  I know a few hundred people who are already lined up to buy them.  It is a race to see who can post the first 3dmarks score with the fastest i7 based system.

These processors also make very good server CPU's.  The price of a server CPU is pretty much not an issue when you need the fastest thing you can get your hands on.

Make no mistake about it.  Intel knows these are not going to be super high volume CPU's.

Don't make me edit another one of your posts drdeath.  Either contribute to the topic at hand or simply move along.

I am a reseller and the entry i7's will be in the 260.00 to 299.00 range with the extreme version at about 1,000.00  Still less then the popular QX97xx series.

[drdeathx]

I was trying something I messed up anyway us AMD users prefer slower cpu speed like the Slowsky's in caomcast commercial!






see if this works

I really wonder who pays $1000 for a cpu that will be outperformed by a $300 part in 12 months..

[Skuzzy]

There are some circles I run in where the guys are just biting at the bullet to get that $1000 CPU in their hands.  They really do not care what it costs if it will make things go faster for them.  And they have the loose change to blow on something like this.

Mind boggling really.

I know that getback doesn't. These 2 comps I built in the last year have to last at least one more year.

[Skuzzy]

Heck, I don't either.
