On Monday we informed you here that Intel intends to cut the prices on some of its processors. Well, it looks that HKEPC's information wasn't exactly precise as some of our readers pointed out. Now thanks to The Tech Report we have some new info, the new prices will hit on Monday, January 19 and primarily affect Intel's 45nm quad-core processors:
  • Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.00GHz 12MB 1333MHz $530 -> ~$322
  • Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz 12MB 1333MHz $316 -> ~$267
  • Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz 6MB 1333MHz $266 -> ~$217
  • Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.50GHz 4MB 1333MHz $224 -> ~$194
  • Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz 4MB 1333MHz $193 -> ~$163
Again, this is information from "an anonymous tipster", so these prices may vary.

I'm still waiting for the first quad-core under $100. :p

First one there, either AMD or Intel, wins my sale. :D

I'm liking where these prices are going! With the current state of the economy, I can't help but think they will continue to go down. :)

Ditto Egg has the Q9550 down to like $306 now, it's getting pretty tempting.

The Phenom 9600 is very close, only $104 on newegg with free shipping. :rockout:

I'm loving these prices. And I really wish Intel would have released even lower end quads. I would have liked to see a Q4300 to contend with the Phenoms price point.

Damn -- wish I had a board with ACC. I'd buy that 9600, silly TLB or not (since with the ACC it'd probably overclock not bad).
