Intel Processor Price List

Keep prices high. No bargains. AMD needs to come out with something that will put Intel on their heels.
 
When am I going to be able to buy that stinking i3-2120! I am all good with a price but maybe being able to buy it would be a good thing?
 
What's the dif between i7-2600K and i7-2600? I wouldn't mind upgrading my i5-750 to that but need to know what the K means first.

K chips have an unlock multiplier on P67 boards and better graphics on H67 boards, but no VT-d.

AMD would do the same thing if they ever get back on top, just like they did when A64 was competing with P4.

Even back then AMD's prices were low. They just made Intel come in even lower due to their shit product.

AMD's slowest 64-bit single core cpu was $220 when released in 2004. Their slowest X2 at release was more than $350.

Intel's current generation's slowest product is $185, and it's not exactly a slouch. When Nehalem was released, you could get an i7 920 for about $200-$250. When the i5's were released, they started around $150. So how were AMD's prices then low compared to Intel now?
 
Nice... the Intel MSRP for the launch i7 920 was still ~280usd, not "200-250" MC might had prices around there, but MC isn't the world. Heck it isn't even half of the USA.

I recall paying $689 for an Athlon X2 4200+ (Canada anyway...). But here's the release price lol...so, who's more unreasonable?

In Brazil, when AMD had the edge, retailers finally started to sell AMD. Prices dropped so much, so fast. It was a great time for everyone that wanted a new PC. Many bought their first PCs. Before that, AMD was hard to get around here, no one would bother. Intel's marketing is strong.

I say it a lot around here... people praise Intel because it makes better chips, but I know for a fact that makes prices a lot higher. When AMD is competitive, prices go down, both Intel and AMD.

Now that AMD is not really strong, it faded away again. Intel came back in full force, and I struggle again to find an AMD chip.

AMD have my support because they keep competitive prices even when they're ahead on technology. I would hate to see them gone. That, and the fact that they don't change sockets on a whim, so I can upgrade my circa-2007 Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with something more up-to-date without ditching my entire old ass rig (DDR2).

Oh yeah, I forgot the 3800+ wasn't released until three months after the rest were released. It was just a bit over $350.
 
its not the processors Im worried about, I just want to be able to buy a motherboard! :mad:
 
The prices seem reasonable to me. Sinking 5B into a new factory in AZ creating 4K jobs? Yeah, it'll be worth it long term.
 
You would think the prices would come down seeing as there is not a reliable sandybridge motherboard available yet.
 
No price break for 980X now that 990X is out? That's just stupid that the top 2 processors are the same price.
 
Well the i7 970 did drop in price. The Extreme editions of intel processors never seem to drop in price after another one is sent in it's place.

OK, thanks. Can any 1156 mb use these 2600 processors or does one need a specific model of mb? I won't upgrade to one if it requires a new mb too.

Yeah, I noticed a few other processors at different speeds share the same price too, what's the incentive? Or even processors at the same CPU speed but different GPU speeds, like the i5-660 and the i5-661 which lacks virtualization or TXT, like we can't have both on the same chip with Intel. :(

It's nice to have so much choice, but with 10 main categories and 52 different CPUs, and mixing up to 3 different LGA architectures in the same category, the price list is not an easy read. Not that I'm buying CPUs at $1M the tray of i7-990Xs anyway. :)

Still too many 45nm and Core 2 CPUs in this list...
 
I wonder how much longer they're going to keep the core2's alive. With SNB finally out I was expecting a major culling of models.
 
Out of curiosity I grabbed a headline from the E8600 launch announcement:

Intel latest Core 2 Duo E8600 to Launch August 10 at $266

This was in 2008, so the price has not changed in 30 months. I don't get marketing

lack of serious competition from AMD, and Intel would rather move customers onto their new platform instead of he previous generation of the old one. I know they generally keep 1 or 2 chips per generation around in low volumes for 5-10 years for the embedded systems market, but they don't need 4 each dual and quad cores for that purpose.
