intel is more on marketing strategy because AMD is sleeping now not like before ^_^

base on my sources, suppliers will be giving the updated pricing for Intel Processors by tomorrow..maybe, we can feel the effect of the Price drop by February pa (for selected Processors)..tnx :mrgreen:

Sure whatever, there is a weekly/monthly reduction in prices if you have noticed ( PCX prices for example ) Aug 08 is the ONLY intel scheduled price drop.

for clarification, the price drop i'm stating here is for our local market..Base on my observation, Intel needs to adjust prices for marketing strategy. For example, right now, the Price of the Core 2 Duo E8500 processors (running on 3.16GHz, 1333FSB & 6MB Cache) is having the same Price with Core 2 Quad Q9300 (running on 2.5GHz, 1333FSB & 6MB Cache). Of course, if one wants a higher performance, you will choose Core 2 Quad although it has lower clock speed than Core 2 Duo..tnx :mrgreen:

Like i said, there are local price changes based on item depreciation, we dont need your suppliers/sources to tell us that a weekly/monthly observation on PCX's price list reflects that.

For example, right now, the Price of the Core 2 Duo E8500 processors (running on 3.16GHz, 1333FSB & 6MB Cache) is having the same Price with Core 2 Quad Q9300 (running on 2.5GHz, 1333FSB & 6MB Cache). Of course, if one wants a higher performance, you will choose Core 2 Quad although it has lower clock speed than Core 2 Duo..tnx :mrgreen:

For the E8500 you are paying a premium price for its higher multiplier.. its been like that for ages already.
For perofrmance the E8500 might be faster on SINGLE threaded applications. but practically why buy a dualcore today when the price difference in it is less than 3,500 in getting a quad.

Information is always welcome but please do post accurate information with credible proof, at first you stated that

Prices of Intel processors will be dropping starting tomorrow

We already know prices drop on a weekly and monthly basis, So i added the date that intel specified WHEN they will have their own price drop w/c is Aug 2008 as shown Here

and w/c is ALREADY off topic.
