Really? Are you absolutely sure?I'm actually waiting for the E6750 which was listed as USD 183 (rm 640). Do they sell the E6850?
22nd July New Intel Processors, and price cuts!

QUOTE(kuanhon @ Jul 8 2007, 10:39 AM) i thought ASUS and Gigabyte P965 series support 1333FSB with some tweak in the BIOS or some sort of enhancement in pcb design? Ya, supposedly the P965 can support the E6x50 CPUs after a BIOS update. However, this remains to be confirmed.anyway do you guys think the price of 6550 or 6750 will drop any sooner? considering the proposed pricing is $163 (~RM560) and $183 (~RM630) respectively.. the actual price will not differ that much i suppose.. I don't think it will drop so soon. Those prices are the introductory prices as quoted in the 22nd Intel CPU price drop list.... |

QUOTE(intothefantasy @ Jul 8 2007, 11:21 AM) Supposed to be same price as the Q6600 (on 22nd July) - USD 266.Edit : I know, I know. Why not get the quad-core instead. Had been contemplating about this but in the end, not much use for Q6600 unless you need the CPU power e.g. folding. Furthermore, the Q6600 is only 2.4 Ghz, whereas the E6850 is 3.0GHz!!!

QUOTE(c2v4l @ Jul 9 2007, 06:17 AM) i prefer 6750 as 2.66GHz seems to be enough even when running at stock speed. But couldnt understand the big difference in price for 6750 and 6850 (at USD183 and USD266 each). The gap consider quite big. I guess it's because you have to pay more premium for the top end E6x50 series. Due to the hugh price difference, I still think the E6750 is the best price:performance CPU for these series. Planning to get this one!!! btw, anyone heard the likely of price cut on 2nd september? Read that it only affected certain processor only though Eh? Another price cut? Kindly give some links pls!

QUOTE(BurgerRI @ Jul 9 2007, 12:08 PM) Ok. However, I'm still deciding on which mobo to get. Definitely a P35 (as X38 is not coming out so soon). I still want to search around on the compatibility of P35 with future procs e.g. penryn (which needs VRM 11.0 compliance). Anybody knows?Probably going to get a gigabyte mobo..... QUOTE(kuanhon @ Jul 9 2007, 12:09 PM) i think i'm getting E6750 too, probably next week.. not going to wait for another round of price cut anymore.. Cool. What mobo are you going to get? Or you have one already?by the way, price cut twice in a quarter? that's rare i think.. has this happen before? it's either Intel is worrying of AMD, or Intel just don't wanna give AMD any chance to counter... |

QUOTE(kuanhon @ Jul 10 2007, 01:42 PM) check Cycom pricelist, their E6550 RM630 and E6750 RM699.. last Saturday there were at least 3 units each displayed on the shelf.. Pricelist from their shop right? Cause I've check the pricelist on LYN and hardwarezone.com.my..... still didn't update their pricelist....though they are slightly more expensive then the proposed/rumoured USD163/183 but i still find it very tempting.. check 1st page for E4XXX price Since there is not a big difference in prices between the E6550 and E6750, I guess the best one is still the E6750! |

QUOTE(soon1713 @ Jul 11 2007, 08:44 AM) yes i think we should just wait until 22nd & see what will be the actual price, cuz intel not really officially announce that it will be slashing the new processor price (E6X50, many ppl still think its a rumour!) but some sources claim that for Q6600 it will be $266 dollar. (u can check it on wikipedia under core2duo proceesor page, its already there long time ago). Errr... the new processors (i.e. E6x50 series) are supposed to be introduced on 22nd July 2007. And that's the rumoured introductory price. It is NOT a price cut!I think Cycom & other company which start 2 sell it & sell it for so high cuz for the profit. i think on 22nd when intel officially announce the news, u can find it (E6750 around RM640) anywhere. Older processors, however, is rumoured to be cheaper. E6850 = Q6600 = USD 266.... I don't think I will buy from any shop. Wanna get cheap through bulk!!!

QUOTE(darnell @ Jul 13 2007, 02:09 PM) The bulk need 10-14 working days after confirming the order. The prices at any shop is usually higher compared to bulk..... Unless, of course, you can't wait for the bulk.....If like that, u only can get ur processor after 22 July, then why dont u buy it at shop? |

QUOTE(darnell @ Jul 13 2007, 03:25 PM) Oh. what i want to say is.. If buy the bulk now, then have to recieved the processor after 22 July. Nope. The new E6x50 series will be supposedly introduced on 22nd July at that price. The price cut applies to older cpus like the E6x00 series....The intel will slash after 22 July. So, it is look like not worth to buy now from bulk. The funny thing is that in bulk, the E6550 is selling for rm600 while the E6750 is selling for rm630 |

QUOTE(wongshuyan @ Jul 13 2007, 05:05 PM) Not much use for quad core at the moment...... Q6600 at USD 266 is very tempting but since it will probably be under-utilized, better go for something like the E6850 at the same price!Unless, of course, you're using apps that utilizes multicore e.g. folding.....

QUOTE(§layerXT @ Jul 14 2007, 10:34 AM) Q6600 price also very tempting. But not all application today utilise for Quad Core. Better go for E6750. But for those mobo with FSB1066 maybe cant utilise full oc potential for the new proc. Yup. Supposedly on 22nd July, Q6600 = E6850 = USD 266!!!Facts: E6850 = 9x333 = 3.0Ghz E6750 = 8x333 = 2.66 Ghz E6550 = 7x333 = 2.33 Ghz I also think the proc to go for in this series is the E6750. This is because the price difference between the E6850 and E6750 is so great. In addition, if you get the E6550, you really need a good mobo to OC the CPU because the multiplier is only 7x. For example, to OC to 3.6Ghz, your FSB need to be: E6850 = 9x400 E6750 = 8x450 E6550 = 7x514 Mhz!!! FSB 514 Mhz is not easy to get unless you have a very good overclockable mobo!!! |

QUOTE(irenic @ Jul 14 2007, 02:09 PM) i also dunno.. i already own a quad core 2 times (1 es and 1 oem), but this time i guess i'll buy a e6850 coz i wanna use that processor mainly for overclocking.. hopefully can do 4ghz stable .. summore i wanna wait till 45nm release then only i'll buy another quad core.. I was actually thinking about the E6850. However, the price difference is so much. What do you think of the E6750 (8x333Mhz)?anyway the price between q6600 and e6850 should be almost same lar.. q6600 : 4 cores, 2x4mb l2 cache, 266x9 (2.4ghz) 1066fsb e6850: 2cores, 4mb l2 cache, 333x9 (3.0ghz) 1333fsb I mean, with your mobo, a FSB of 500Mhz at 4.0Ghz (8x500Mhz) would be possible, wouldn't it??

QUOTE(Monster Hunter G @ Jul 14 2007, 02:19 PM) For previous proc owners no use upgrading right even for the tempting price, rugi only for a few performance upgrade. From my point better wait longer for further price slash then straight away jump into the tempting Core 2 Quad. A better idea is get a cheaper C2D now then jump to Intel's 45nm CPU!!! Now, that's what I call QUOTE(irenic @ Jul 14 2007, 02:27 PM) yes it's possible for the board to run at 500fsb.. now i also confuse between e6750 and e6850 Aiyooo..... I thought you are the OC expert? Why confuse pulak? I hope to get the E6750 + GA-P35-DS3 which I plan to do moderate OC. Reviews on GA-P35-DS3R do indicated that this board can go up to 500Mhz. Hopefully my mobo also can..... |
