Oh, I read it as the 8150, can be had cheaper elsewhere.

it will eat as much electricity as other cpu's with that performance...
Troll in action I guess
BTW £109.99 elsewhere

Where? I tried to google for a lower price but couldn't find anything lower. I hope you are not referring to TechBox coz that one shows £109 on Google shopping but actual price is £123 on the website.

Not trolling, it's power usage massive and the performance is hardly huge.
Whilst it's idle consumption is similar to a 2600k it's loaded consumption is nearing 200%!
It really is a power guzzler.
But they are charging £7.25 for delivery, plus there is no cash back.
88.
88.
Would that be 88.1 or 88.2?
And free next day delivery is you have prime.
yer nothing like a monopoly to drive the prices up really high!!!!oO
Yeah, then watch the prices shoot up with no competition....
It's a terrible processor with terribly unbalanced performance. Single threaded performance is abysmal, highly threaded performance is slightly faster than a 2600K. Considering that it is only slightly faster in programs that use all 8 threads at 100% work load....(very rare) Basically 2nd pass encoding h264 video. Then it's basically worthless for anything other than that job.
Also clocks terribly, so not even a competitor for video encoding in reality.
I thought they already had :(
Intel's CPU performance gains seem to be dropping considerably though.
If AMD bow out we will never see another Sandybridge jump in performance.
