Some processor prices are out for C-Zone.

Core i3 2300 - RM585
Core i5 2400 - RM609
Core i7 2600 - RM939

ouchh seeing the benchmark out there make my 4ghz i7 so outdated.

i wonder how much is the i7 2600k .. hmm..

That's surprisingly close to MSRP eventhough it's still about 1 month before launch

Maybe RM70-100 more. That will depend on retail price.

Can you kindly name the model of motherboard having vga/dvi and pci slot ?

It'd be nice having a i5 2400 since it's 3.1Ghz for non overclocker . , too bad the motherboard price will be at least RM 450 for the cheapest model.Better board will cost more than RM500.
Just wait till the board price drop below RM 400

I'm not sure which board yet as the websites for it is not available. Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H is at RM449 and Asus P8H67-M is at RM439 from C-Zone but it's not printed VSGL.

Thanks but Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H doesn't have pci x4 and I cant find the Asus P8H67-M spec.

Arround 1k(+)

like tat i use ratio to calculate 2600K based on the above table:
RM939/USD294 x USD317 = RM1012

Yeah,should be like this.
Of course from you will be cheapearest.

Ofcoz since it's "Made in Malaysia"

it not worth to get new i5
because get new i5=new set cpu again

bro ! so when u gonna sell sandy bridge cpu ?

Yes but wont be so soon anyway it's too early to say.
Somehow from the benches observed, 1366 is still a lot better than 1155. Something like 4.7ghz 1155 = 4.5ghz 1366.

but how easy is achieving maximum on a 1155 vs 1366
though you say a 1366 @ 4.5
most ppl would oc-ed to 4ghz + @ air

where as mass produced 1155 potential is yet to be seen

Depends. If you are upgrading from Socket 478 or LGA775 dual core or AMD dual core, it's worth it.

Well thats only if u count those 32nm 6 core gulftowns because i think they are the only reason 1366 to survive. It is hard to justify getting bloomfield over sandy K series.

btw, base on the conversion 2500K is below RM700. this one is really a steal!

Lauded as a security feature, Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processor can be remotely disabled by a hardware/software combination known at Anti-Theft 3.0. Systems can be disabled over 3G networks, even while the OS is not running. Even when the hard drive is replaced, the critical systems will still be terminated.

At first this sounds great: if an owner loses a laptop it can be remotely disabled to ensure no sensitive data is compromised. But.. MORE>>>

now.. i dont think we should go around whispering 'be afraid.. be very afraid!' yet rite? care to shed some light on this..?
