3.6ghz P4 ETA

[tranCendenZ]

Was looking to upgrade my p4 2.6 to a 3.2C or 3.4C. Was wondering when stores would be getting in the 3.6 and the inevitable price drops of the former two processors to occur?

The 3.6GHz P4 is out already and in stock. Problem is it's in the LGA775 package!! They're NOT releasing higher frequency P4s for s478 - the 3.4C is the end of the line for s478 folks. Unless you overclock of course!!

Right, but I haven't seen the 3.6ghz in any stores yet, at least not in newegg. I only want a 3.2c or 3.4c and im hoping when the 3.6 is in stock their price will drop.

My UK supplier has all the LGA775 chips in stock right now......

There's a 'massive' price drop on all Intel desktop and mobile processors on the 22nd of August. I'm not sure you'll get much of a drop in price (even with the LGA775 stuff out on the market) until then.

That stinks :/ How massive are we talking about? Do you think we'll see the 3.4C drop into the $200-$299 price range?

I don't know. I used to be an IPI (Intel Product Integrator) member but I've changed jobs and they've changed the login. I used to be able to get roadmap details for products and pricing when I logged on to my IPI account - not any more.

Remember, getting a 800Mhz speed bump comes at the cost of buying the new proc, new mobo, new DDR2, and a new PCI-E video card. Quite pricy for what you get if you ask me.

he just wanted to know when the 3.6ghz processors will appear because he thinks the others will then go down in price (they are already available actually ). from what i read he doesn't actually want to get a LGA775 proc, just a faster +cheaper northwood.
