Quad Core Q6600 £346.63


£346.63

25°

FOUND BY: old-bugga 2 years, 7 months ago

STARTS: 20/04/2008   

These were selling at over £500 just yesterday. They are being reduced as part of the April 22nd price cuts by Intel. If you are into video-editing, then this processor will make a HUGE difference to your rendering times. Putting it simply it's 2 Core 2 Duo E6600's in one packagei.e. 4 processors! (yes...I know thats over simplifying it!)

Toms hardware lets you compare this with various other cpus.

Don't know why people are voting it cold - it is a good price, even if it only appeals to a very small audience.

If you can wait until the third quarter of this year (Jul -> Sept) then Intel's Q3 pricing strategy will have this Q6600 at half the current price.

Under the current Q2 scheme, in quantities of 1000 the price is 530 USD per unit. By Q3 it will be 266 USD per unit.

After tax and other profits along the supply chain by Q3 this will be around the £170 -> £190 GBP mark

Good price though.

a handful of apps, mainly video suites.

great price considering where they were at but i agree with above, quads are total hype for 99% of users.

e-***** crowd only
