Intel Price Cut

[glass]

Intel has announced price cuts effective 22nd July,2007.

I would like to know if these price cuts are really going to restructure the market & your opinions on them.

If so how much would the E6600 C2D 2.4GHz processor be approximately priced at. ( I know it would be better to look at higher range, but I want an approximate idea ).

Also how much time would they take to reflect in the Indian Market. Im currently residing in Mumbai.


Thank you.

The E6750 might be around 7800-8000, so I am expecting E6600 to be around 7000.

Currently E6600 is at Rs. 10000 - 10500. So a straight 3K off sounds wonderfull.

[cynosure]

Yeah baby. NO AMD for me now.
Cool hai. This all due to the quad core proccy??

[sagsall4u]

the E6600 will be phased out most probably.

[shyamno]

what will be the xpected price of the Intel....proce..any web site...??

[ravi_9793]

wowwwwwwwwww..........
I think I sud upgrade to C2D from P4.But mine intel 915 dont support C2D (:

[Stalker]

any idea abt the price range of entry-level quads??

will an entry-level quad be better than a e6750(in gaming)?

[Hells_Fury]

Have current games really been designed to take advantage of more cores? I really doubt it. We will have to wait for newer games to release i guess before that question can be answered.
Even I am gonna upgrade soon and was contemplating between the Q6600 and the E6650/6750...
Ive read that the Quad cores generate a lot of heat and cant be overclocked as much as the dual core version, so i guess it boils down to whether the stock Q6600 is better than the overclocked E6650/6750...

[Stalker]

^^same here...confused whether to get the e6750 or Q6600

well, i've heard that crysis can 'supposedly' take advantage of multi-sore proccy, dunno abt the rest

Check out this article...
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=3038

apparently the E6850 and Q6600 will be priced equally...

[godsownman]

Thanks for the update.

I really hope Intel Quad Q6600, is attractively priced here in India ! Its going to be priced well in Usa but Ive always noticed a difference in the prices here( when compared to Usa) and that spoils the party.

[Hells_Fury]

Yeah thats always a problem. Me too hoping that the Q6600 will be priced within my budget. If you consider Indian prices to be approximately 30% higher than US prices, the Q6600 will sell for around Rs 14 - 15,000/-.

There is 0% duty on CPU in India now so theoritically there shouldnt be much of a price difference.
Currently the prices do stabilise to somewhat near to US prices in some time.

Don't know much bout intel. But the recent price drop in AMD procies was really disappointing. Coz the new prices barely reflected in the Indian market. Atleast not in Lamington road, mumbai. The biggest problem in Lamington road is whichever shop u visit, u will never b told the separate price; i.e. procy and mobo. They will tell u the combine price like fo eg. AMD AM2 5200+ and Asus M2NPV-VM together costs 12000 bucks. They themselves don't know the cost of the mobo and procy individually. So wishing luck 2 all uguys planning 2 buy from lamton road........

I am aware of that.Even in Pune we are offered bundle prices but if you insist, you are given individual prices.

[sakumar79]

In chennai, it appears to be different - You can get 5200+ for 6.4k and M2NPV-VM for 4.5k... Details from http://www.deltapage.com/ - but not sure if you can get both separately or you have buy both together...

Dats great. U know what, my friend just got M2NPV-VM + AMD 5200+ and the shopkeeper really did not know the individual prices so in the bill he wrote the same price, Rs.5872, across both the products. LOL .....................

[goobimama]

Holy motha! E6600 for just 7k! I wonder if someone will be willing to sell me one of those second-hand....get it down to like 5k or something.

[pillainp]

Now I know what pain is:
I just bought my E6600 2 weeks ago for around 10.5 K, and then I read that it will be available for 7K.

But hey, I guess that means I can upgrade to an even faster processor for less money now.

[cynosure]

^^ Will you upgrade your processer so soon?

[pillainp]

Probably, if it's worth it. I can always sell the E6600.

[goobimama]

Like I said, I'm first in line to buy an E6600...^^^

[pillainp]

@goobi
If I do decide to sell, rest assured, you'll be first to know

[balardhruva]

also quad core Q6600 will be at 11k.

Hey Guys today is the day. Lets wait & watch. I've been waiting for this day, since the day I posted this thread.

But I hope they really reflect here in India the way they should quickly .

I can't wait to get my hands on a new pc.

Chao!~

[cynosure]

^^ Me too. Ive been waiting for this day from the last 3 weeks.
Hope the prices in India reduce today only.
