Intel Cuts Prices of Core i7-2600K and i7-2700K

With the obvious intention of clearing out inventories of previous-generation Core i7-2600K and Core i7-2700K "Sandy Bridge" processors, Intel decided to cut prices of these chips. The cuts aren't exactly significant, but just enough to restore the two models' price-performance ratios post-Ivy Bridge. The Core i7-2600K gets a price cut of around 10€, sending it down to 255-260€. The Core i7-2700K, on the other hand, got a price cut of 15€, sending its price down to around 275€.

Well, we drink mostly drafts which are half of liter, the Pint is like 570ml? Not sure... so like I said, ~1 Euro. In clubs goes more then double tho..

m1dg3tSeeing as most game's these day's are console port's the need for the absolute best hardware is not so much, all you need is a decent amount of RAM and a good GFX card and you are pretty much set to have same or better performance than a console ;) If all you do is game anyways.
Most games aren't console ports...and your grammar is horrifyingly bad.

intel doesn't need to cut prices any further. 10€ is ok for them. No big deal for us but may be a big deal for OEMs.

happyI just hope it's a significant improvement over the SBs and not some marginal improvement like the IBs :shadedshu.
my crystal balls says the improvement will 20% tops. :laugh:

seriously current processor are more than enough to handle most of the software out there. i think intel will increase the performance a bit but will concentrate more on efficiency.
christ87what socket Intel intend to use for Haswell? is it going to be 1155? if yes its going to be worth the wait, else just buy a 2700K and a 1155 board, its going to be worth more than the IVB setup, since the heat dissipation in IVB is a problem.
it will be on a new socket. if we're lucky it will be used for two generation :D

Lucky you! Cheapest you find a crap domestic here is $4, more if in a dance club/strip joint. Don't get me started on imported/premium price's :cry:
