ash_XP 0 Posted October 19, 2008 well i believe the drop has occured now, i cant remember all the cpus it was meant to affect, but the q6600 is back down to $299 from $325. Still more than it was a week or 2 ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aaliyahlim 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Hey all, Not sure if anyone else has been noticing, but ive been closely watching the Intel Q6600 prices last week or 2 and they have been increasing quite dramatically. I mean yesterday at Umart it was $288 i believe, and today its jumped up to $325. And im almost certain it was about $260ish only beginning or last week. Can someone shine a light on this for me, because at this price theres no way im buying a quad core. Happy hunting :) Since when did you notice that prices went up?

ash_XP 0 Posted October 25, 2008 well I started this thread after noticing they were goin up fairly quickly, but i cant specificalyl remember the date, i do remember i started the thread once the q6600 went to $325 at umart, but its down to $290ish now however. I ended up gettin the e8400 istead though, when i ordered I just couldnt justify the price difference between the 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 2 Posted October 25, 2008 Prices started to slowly go up just after July when the dollar was it's highest and then started to fall. July = $0.97c to now October = $0.64c Give or take a %30 drop. CPU's are extremely exchange rate sensitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caffeine_Fiend 0 Posted October 28, 2008 It's now at $0.61 :/ Given too that distributors also hedge the exchange rate to protect themselves, the calculated buy price for resellers from $USD will be a few cents less than the current exchange rate. Even disti's who re-calculate exchange rates daily will cover themselves by a couple of extra cents. So a calculated buy price for the resellers from the disti, at a $0.61 exchange rate may actually be in the vicinity of around $0.57c And yes I work for a disti. Not saying which one though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 2 Posted October 28, 2008 I should also add, that once the last Q6600's come in this week they then go end of life. So if you don't want to miss out, best get yours now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky 0 Posted November 4, 2008 The q6600 has been an awesome cpu for me. I believe I paid $260 for it about 15 months ago, about a month before G0 stepping came out. So are 65nm cpu's now eol? I was thinking about getting a e1200, e2180 or e2200 for use in a home server. But if replacements are on the way I might wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
