How does $224 seem high for a 3Ghz C2D?

I paid $360 (before any price drops) for my 2.4Ghz 1066 FSB E6600.

I am going to get one of the 3GHZ ones for my next PC.

Yeah, that seems like a pretty fair price. Hopefully this trend continues, so when I build a computer everything will be super cheap.

Not sure if this will work:

The old 3-point-oh is still 279, while the new one is 224. Is there something wrong here?

EDIT: looks like a few people have already reviewed the E8400

And it runs 4.0ghz cool.

I'm so glad I held out on my upcoming build.

So...would these dual cores be better than a build with one of the newer quad cores? :\ I was thinking quad core but damn if these things can run 3ghz+ without too much extra spending my mind is starting to sway towards the duals.

Depends on how well the software you're going to run can manage the multiple cores.

I note that the new quad core AMD Phenom processor had its arse handed to it on a plate by an Intel Core 2 Q6600, and that wasn't even a 45nm Penryn. (See RegHardware for the review)

And this is one of the lower end of the 45nm C2Ds, isn't it?

Bumpity bump

E8200 has arrived, its being price gouged as well

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115038

Keep in mind, that major retails are getting them for 180 a piece when the buy 1,000 at a time. Makes you think where that extra 60-70 dollars is going.

Anyone know if intel has to set an MSRP for these things?

I would assume not, otherwise a big seller like Newegg would not risk doing that.
