Intel price cuts, effective now!

hardware-revolution.com — Ah, I love those days. You know, the days where you hear that a big hardware parts manufacturer, such as Intel, AMD, ATI, Nvidia, etc, announces price cuts. That alone makes my day! Yes, it’s official, Intel are cutting prices on some of their cpu this week and it’s already in effect, with stores such as NewEgg who already lowered their prices!

  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -2/+86I like price cuts!
  • Cancerkitty, on 07/22/2008, -16/+81Maybe it's time to switch from AMD.
  • mecharabbit, on 07/23/2008, -4/+62No you're rock!
  • Awspire, on 07/23/2008, -3/+45Will: What pray, sir, is a circumcision?
    Rabbi: Oh, it's the latest rage. The ladies love it.
    Will: Well, I want one.
    Little John: Oh, I'll take two.
  • metamorfoza, on 07/23/2008, -2/+42No, you're both stoned.
  • louiebaur, on 07/22/2008, -20/+57I have an AMD no complaints here:-)
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+41good, now i can burn and render my conspiracy videos even faster.
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -1/+35Time to upgrade the gaming rig!
  • S201, on 07/23/2008, -1/+30The week after I buy a new processor... typical.
  • aflaks, on 07/22/2008, -2/+31im going to buy 6!
  • Retrospekt, on 07/23/2008, -0/+28E7200 for 113 bucks is a steal. They overclock to 3.8 on low volts if you get a decent chip.
  • mal1964, on 07/23/2008, -1/+27You're 25 years old when did you buy it, When you were 2?
  • schrutefan, on 07/23/2008, -4/+26Great stability, poor performance. All of AMD's "high-end" stuff gets the ***** kicked out of them by Intel. Phenom sucks and their tri-cores are a joke.
  • MikeSetera, on 07/23/2008, -1/+20Great timing... I'm about to build my first quad core rig. :)
  • Shaem1, on 07/23/2008, -0/+18Everything must go!

    Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men!
  • Tatango, on 07/22/2008, -2/+20Yup we could all use a price cut

  • jjb123, on 07/23/2008, -3/+20Damnit! I just bought a q6600 last week for $209.
  • Nephersir7, on 07/23/2008, -1/+15Just before heading to digg and seeing this article on top of the front page, I almost bought an Intel 8400 for 185 $. Now, the E8500 is selling for the same price!

    Thanks digg, thanks intuition!
  • mjoe, on 07/23/2008, -3/+17it's a waste to buy now with the Nehalem / Bloomfield quads coming out in october
  • charlieville, on 07/22/2008, -9/+23I made a ton of money of of Intel back in the day
  • headband, on 07/23/2008, -1/+13you really have no idea what you are talking about.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+16***** stability. I would much rather have a 1Ghz overclock on my quad core than so called "stability".

    Intel Q6600: Stock 2.4ghz. Mine: 3.4.

    Intel is rocking right now. AMD has a very large thumb up it's ass.
  • tidu, on 07/23/2008, -1/+13talk about bad ideas!
  • cricketsymphony, on 07/23/2008, -3/+14I have an Intel, some extra cash in my pocket, and no complaints here, either :-)
  • Awspire, on 07/23/2008, -1/+12If anyone recently ordered a CPU from a retailer like Newegg, and the CPU has dropped in price, try contacting them online to see if they'll refund the difference. Doesn't hurt to try.
  • RadiatedAnt, on 07/23/2008, -4/+14AMD x2 6400+ is a steal!
  • Cogboy, on 07/23/2008, -2/+12Skulltrail?
  • Smiley09, on 07/23/2008, -0/+930 day price match? Or do they not do that anymore...
  • jjb123, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10Me too :(
  • jellydoughnut21, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10my next cpu upgrade will be to quad core, but i haven't seen anything spectacular from the quad core area yet, seems kind of like we're in a transition stage from dual to quad, which is kind of wierd seeing as how dual core processors are still widely untapped.
  • rockefeller2, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11October will be a bad time to buy with the new *Insert_Upcoming_CPU_Name_Here* coming in February 09'.
  • rewritable, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9Yeah because maybe then those AMD losers will go under and the next round of CPUs from Intel will never have any price cuts!

    I showed my support for AMD last week when i upgraded my 3800 X2 to a 6400 X2.
  • DyceFreak, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8newegg had em for $200 for about 2 months now...
  • scoottie, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8New chips in Q4 2008

  • AhrenBa, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8Hmmm...this could add merit to the lower priced MacBooks that may be coming...that would be nice considering I need to buy a laptop for college very soon here.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8It's the shorter pipelines.
  • Evacide, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8Reformat?
  • bipolarruledout, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Funny, I made a ton of money on AMD back in the day... back when the original athlon was kicking their ass. I will say that if you have stock in either you best keep an eye on AMD's law suit against intel.
  • Retrospekt, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8That's not even close to being true. wtf?

    Intel chips shut down just like any other chip. I don't know where you got this info...
  • dacheetah, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7"I forgot, I already got one..."
  • mal1964, on 07/23/2008, -3/+9Price cutting is happening everywhere and they have to, If they what sales, Because the economy says cut prices because not to many can afford the year 2004 prices like they could in 2004.
  • mynameisjonas, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6I've been a big supporter of AMD for years, but lately they have been letting me down. Not only is Intel outperforming them, but their cost is not that big of an advantage anymore. I've had AMD chips in my last to machines, and I have to say the one I have now will be my last. The support for their chipsets is horrendous, and the problems just continue for me. This price cut is nice but i had already made my decision about a year ago to start using Intel.
  • RoflcopterFUEL, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6+shipping + tax (at least for us here in CA :( )
  • championchap, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5They're rock was correct.. he was talking about their stability.
    "They're rock solid" would have been the complete saying.. but you know.. us Brits do like to miss things out.. endings of words, sentences, teeth, etc.
  • wibambau, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Sniff sniff, I smell Nehalem.
  • lordtyros, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6Their top of the line ***** is ***** compared to Intel's, but games these days aren't really CPU bound at decent resolutions. It's nice to be able to purchase a perfectly decent (for gaming) processor for about $50.
  • michaelkbrandow, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Your comment was more than one line!
  • rg8670bx, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5You've got it the other way around, it's AMD that keeps changing sockets.They went from socket 754, 940, 939, AM2 and AM2+ all in the same architecture (Athlon 64). Intel on the other hand has been LGA775 since the P4 days.
