Intel Quad-Core Pricing

Magus · 10-31-2006, 09:23 PM

I'd like to keep this topic updated with the pricing on the new Quad core kentsfield processors,
Until those are out, let's guess

Cow · 11-01-2006, 02:35 AM

Bill gates's annual salary?

Cameraman · 11-01-2006, 02:45 AM

I thought I had heard they'd be around $1200. About $200-$100 more than the current price on the Core 2 Duo X6800.

Oh and just say quad core, Quadro makes me think of nvidia's workstation card

HD0087 · 11-01-2006, 10:21 AM

Well I do not need to guess. I have already bought my kentsfield QX6700 for 1050$USD + 60$ for shipping

Cheaper models will merge some time next year!

OH MY GOD, 1k, thats too fornicateing expensive, ah well i'll wait for the more cheaper releases and better mobo's to support it, as 1k is just too much :P

I'm more surprised by the shipping costs! $60 for a processor?! Damn, are they 15Kg now?

BTW, look at the benchmarks done by Valve on their quad enable source engines!

Interesting tgf, but you do have to wonder what, or more precisely, how many fine-threaded routines are there that need to distributed to 4 seperate cores?

Scene Rendering, AI, Physics and....? Now its more than likely that Physics will be handled on a GPU or Dedicated addon board, so thats hardly going to eat an entire 3GHz core up... maybe Valve are saying this so Intel send them a few token quadcore workstations as a 'thankyou!'.. if you know what I mean!
