One of the most remarkable cut, Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40 GHz/4MB L2 x 2/1066MHz FSB), which has been launched on Jan 7, is planned to be cut from $851 to $530, a 37.7% off. Meanwhile, Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66 GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB) and E6600 (2.4 GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB) is planned to cut from $530 and $316 to $316 and $224 respectively, a 40.3% and a 29.1% off.

Over and above, though Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13 GHz/2MB L2/1066MHz FSB) and E6300 (1.83 GHz/2MB L2/1066MHz FSB) haven’t got too much cut in this plan, says from $224 to $183 (18.3%) and from $183 to $163 (10.9%), Intel would like to give a special gift to this models, a 2MB extra L2 Cache (total 4MB L2 Cache). These 4 MB L2 Cache versions, namely Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13 GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB) and E6320 (1.83 GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB), are going to launch on the same day of price cutting

On the entry-level dual core market, besides Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8 GHz/2MB L2/800MHz FSB), which has been launched on Jan 21, there is another E4400 (2 GHz/2MB L2/800MHz FSB) coming in Q2 2007 set at a price of $133. On the day of E4400’s launch and onward, E4300 will has a new price from $163 to $113, a 30.7% off.

As the marketing replacement of Pentium D, namely Core 2 Duo E4000, has been released, Netburst Pentium D experienced another cut effective from Apr 22, where Pentium D 935(3.2GHz/2MB x 2/800MHz FSB) and Pentium D 925(3GHz/2MB x 2/800MHz FSB) are left only, and their updated prices are cutting from $133 and $113 to $84 and $74 respectively.

The new Pentium E and Celeron 400 are schedule to release in Mid-June. Pentium E2160(1.8GHz/1MB L2/800MHz FSB) and Pentium E2140(1.6GHz/.1MB L2/800MHz FSB) will be the replacement of Pentium D 935 and Pentium D 925. The prices setting for this two are $84 and $74. Also, the prices setting for Celeron D 440(2GHz/512KB L2/800MHz FSB) and Celeron D 430 (1.8GHz/512KB L2/800MHz FSB) are $59 and $49 respectively. According to the testing result from the market, either one could provide a better performance than Celeron 360 running at 3.6 GHz, especially at gaming.

It's from HKEPC, hmm it looks like the major price cut for February on the E6700 & the E6600 has been pushed back to April ?

Was holding out myself guess I can wait a bit more if that's the case but I hope it arrives sooner.

LoLth

was looking forward to a bit of upgrading this month too however, I do like the look of that 6420 cpu and the extra time for the motherboard selection will be appreciated (I'm thinking Asus P5W Deluxe or its 6420 compatible equivalent).

have to upgrade all my ram to DDR2 though - april will see quite a bit of for sale adverts originating from me I should think

8T8, you think that such a cut on the E6700 will be available to consumers in February? Or does it normally take a while for the price cuts to trickle down to the high street / net?

Have been planning to build a E6600 based system for the past while now, but I may hang on if the E6700 drops somewhere close to the same price!

It will take a while before the irish consumer can see the price drop. I'd say april time before you can get hold of the cheaper chips.
