it is not possible to say??????

assasin · 31-03-2007, 08:20 PM

u can xpect a price cut by may-june

Pravas · 23-04-2007, 06:33 AM

Some says that the price has fallen on 23rd of April. But the site http://www.theitwares.com/ shows expected price of core 2 duo's. What it means that whether the price will be applicable to new manufactured or the same existing hardwares?

kooldude · 23-04-2007, 06:52 AM

I think it just means that thew prices fallen and they are expecting them to be the ones mentioned on the website

dude many online retailers in US have already released processors on new prices, BTW, 22-23 april was the expected price drop.

That is great effort by theitwares, but still prices needs to be pruned down to exact. This price cut is not very great. AMD still ahead on Price Vs Performance ratio. A great disappointment from Intel. E6400/6420 etc should be 6500 - 7500.

LOL, give it time . Price cuts are per 1000 units per Intel. A Week and all will be normal

EDIt : I just called http://www.theitwares.com/ owner RAJ and he said those where expected prices and tonight will be real update of prices

premsharma · 23-04-2007, 10:36 AM

Yeah! Raj is great guy and I know, he will allow the consumers to reap the benefits on price cut very soon as he did on the AMD models. Next 2-3 days we will find them to be true. E6420 is not yet listed in his inventory, that is going to be the most sought after model.

Sukhdeep Singh · 23-04-2007, 10:46 AM

Raj, must be on Digit forum, what is user ID ?

Yes he is here but duno by what ID because whatever is being discussed here is implemented on the site immediately.

Yeah, i asked on phone and he said, the prices are not final yet. He will be knowing everything today and update new prices and availability tmrw so fingers crossed

Kniwor · 23-04-2007, 05:07 PM

I will surely get the first one I can get my hands on

sagsall4u · 23-04-2007, 08:58 PM

are the prices on the IT wares inclusive of all taxes?
If you buy goods worth 25 g's then the tax is applied on the whole thing right? Not the individual items?

how does it matter if tax is applied on all, or individually???
I'd also like to know if those prices are inculsive of taxes, or not?

kooldude · 24-04-2007, 03:22 AM

All the prices on theitwares are inclusive of Tax for buyers from maharashtra...they say that they have to pay CST to gov if thy send it outside maharastra

What is the difference between E6400 & E6420.
Actually i have decided to go for AMD x2 4800+ is to better than intel's E6400/20.
My need is gaming(fifa,nfs,gta). Also Can you tell me the mobo for above mentioned processors of both platfrom with onboard graphics & 1 pci slot.

Sukhdeep Singh · 24-04-2007, 08:58 AM

E6400 has 2MB L2 Cache while E6420 has double the L2 Cache i.e 4MB

premsharma · 24-04-2007, 09:08 AM

AMD X2 4800+ is good enough and price is also 6500. Price Vs Performance ratio is better than Intel

assasin · 24-04-2007, 09:28 AM

i think E4400 will be better than X2 4800+.i've seen a few benchmarks on the net and they were pretty impressive

I don't think so, good AMD motherboards are much cheaper than Intel ones, leading to much better overall price/performance ration in lower-middle-end segment.

assasin · 24-04-2007, 11:45 AM

^^^ yeah thats true,but if a guy doesnt want to oc he can easily do with a intel D945GCCL mobo which costs 4k.
cost of oc capable mobos for Intel r costly.

That is the precise reason for choosing AMD. It has very good motherboards below 5000. Far superior & affordable than Intel motherboards and better than 945 & 946 etc. AMD mobos are also superior in onboard graphics as compared to Intel. In the processor benchmarks, intel may be slightly ahead, just slightly but the overall cost vs performance & graphics ratio is with AMD.

Even after price cut the Intel E6420, 6400 [2.1 Ghz] are more than 9000 whereas its counterpart of 2.0 ghz from AMD are 5500 to 6500. Leaving apart the L2 Cache business. L2 cache can not make any processor faster but it prevents the processor from being slow. This phrase can be re-written in many ways.

u cant compare the proccies based on their clock speeds.
X2 3800+ is a 2GHz proccy and is left bitting the dust when compared to 6400/6420.....

Kniwor · 24-04-2007, 08:07 PM

Equally priced AMD and Intel processors are equally performing, 6000+ = E6600, 5600+ = E6420, also they are priced equally, but the motherboards make a difference, AMD ones are cheaper(~5k), so if u are on a low budget, and cannot afford a costly mobo, AMD mobo will provide all features you require at the right price.

But of-course if u can afford a good mobo for Intel (~10k), the overall performance after overclocking will be much higher than what AMD can provide...
