Intel Core July refresh led by six-core i7 970 priced at $885 by VR-Zone.com | COMPUTEX 2010
he second six-core Gulftown CPU, Core i7 970, is expected to release at a whopping $885 in mid-July. Previously, we hoped the i7 970 would fit into the $562 price point, but Intel is not interested in making its six-core offerings more affordable yet.
he Core i5 760 will be an important product, priced at $205, clocking in at 2.8 GHz.
The Core i3 540 will fall to $117, making space for Core i3 560, which will release at $138 in August. Another major change in August would be the Core i7 950, which will finally fall to the $284 price point, putting further pressure on the Phenom II X6 1095T BE.
tsk tsk tsk, So much for an affordable hexacore by intel :P
