But it is B3 stepping so don't get it if you want one with G0 stepping.

Didn't I read somewhere that the two steppings were looking to perform similarly?

The GO will run cooler, so if your on air, that matters, on water not really......and I'm pretty sure they will be right around $266.00 within a week....but that doesn't mean I'm not buying @ $273.00:)

Interesting...then we wait! :D
 
So why is the Q6700 supposed to be TWICE this price for only 200 more mhz?

doubtful
Retailers will buy them in 1k quantities for $266
So unless they want to make $0 profit, they will need to sell them for more than $266

Because they only buy 1000? lol.....

The big middle men pay 266 for 1000. But they don't buy 1000, they buy 10000 or 20000.

It's cheaper than $266 for them. Look, you think mWave would sell them for $273 and make a whooping $7 on a processor? I think their margins are a littler higher than that.

Thats the same thing they were saying about the E6600 price drop.........and I bought one for $266.00..


so I have no doubt I will be buying this for $266.00 also.
 
I've always wondered if CPU's were loss leaders, it makes sense imho. Perhaps a retailer sells them close to cost knowing they'll make up the profit-loss with accessories such as heatsinks, pci cards, fans, cables, graphics cards etc etc etc. After all, a person buying a cpu is often building his own system, and will need all the other parts to go with it.

Sorry for drifting off-topic, but it may explain why retailers price CPU's the way they do.

Where are you getting an assumption that they getting it for $266? You really think they will disclose that to public? You're naive if you think they really got it for $266.

Because Intel sells them for $266 in lots of 1,000? That's Intel's public pricing, not mwave's.

Where have you been in the last couple weeks?!

And you believe that?

If you don't have any better info and some sources to backup that better info, then yes, i believe that. Don't see a reason why i should not. And if you don't have better sources than the manufacturer himself (i'm curious which source could be better), then....well....
 
Actual retailers that move a lot of products, such as newegg for example, definitely get discounts on those prices. In fact, a person in the industry let me know that those public figures almost always closer to what you will expect to pay (after the initial price surge form demand) provided you are buying it from a fairly major store.
 
You must also remember that part of the bonus of selling the processor is that most/many will buy the processor and get another higher margin product w/ it such as a motherboard, there are some companies that will even sell processors at a loss (Frys) to get people in the door to buy motherboard case video card cooling fan monitor etc.... That being said, most companies probably get significant cuts below the 1K price, but these are the larger OEMs such as HP/Dell etc and those companies don't pay anywhere close to the listed price, there is a reason why ASPs hover around $50 to $100 even when the ASPs available to us are closer to $300.
 
Not a bad price, although free shipping would have made it sweeter... Shows ~$9 shipping for me.

Never used mwave before is google checkout an option with these guys?

I don't know. You could always check it out for yourself.
MWave is cool though. You won't have any problems with their customer service
 
why are there 2 different prices for the q6600 on mwave.com? One is at $270 and the other $273
 
Two prices are if you buy a mobo. If you buy a combo it's 270, by itself it's 273.
 
For Abits IP35 rebate restriction it says "Rebate promotions should not be combined with other promotions. Combining rebates will result in processing delay or denied altogether."

--Does this mean I won't be able eligible for the rebate if I buy the combo mobo + Q6600 combo deal? Yeah it's $3, but $ is $
 
Q6600 at Fry's is $266. A customer had some trouble getting the adjusted price from the Fry's ad but it did work. I wonder if I can get AP on one. Doubt it because it's on sale and since no one really buys Q6600's it won't be much. Although it could have been a reseller who bought it for that price,
