It's official! Several new models have released today, with one oldie but goodie seeing a massive price drop. All prices listed are from Newegg.
The E7300 (Dual-core, 2.66 GHz 3MB Cache) released at an affordable $144.99, a tremendously powerful entry at this price point. The only gotcha is a lack of hardware virtualization support.
The E8600 (Dual-core, 3.33 GHz 6MB Cache w/VT) is out at $279.99, a very workable price for such a fast stock speed. This guy is going to be a serious gaming powerhouse.
The Q9550 (Quad-core, 2.83 GHz 12 MB Cache w/VT) is now down to $339.99 at the 'egg. Once the pinnacle of slightly affordable quad-cores, the price is down quite a bit from last week. Hovering around $600 previously, this is now a realistic option for a mid-high end system.
All of these CPUs are now listed in stock. Expect some moderate price drops across most of the rest of the CPU range as well.
The E5200 is still MIA, but expected soon. I'll keep you posted. The street price should be around $90 for a 2.5 GHz, 800 MHz dual-core. Not shabby for a low-mid range system, and likely a strong overclocker.
