Karooo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 If you’re planning on building a gaming rig pc anytime soon, you will be pleased to know of Intel’s upcoming price reductions for some of their flagship processors. In just seven says time on the 30th of August, the Core i7 950 (LGA1366, 3.06 GHz, quad-core) which is currently retailing for $564 on Amazon.com will be slashed to $294, effectively replacing the i7 930. OverClockers.co.uk already has the processor listen for £234.99 on pre-order. The 950 performed extremely well in benchmarks with plenty of room for overclocking. Tom’s Hardware pitted it up against the 975 Extreme Edition and it certainly held its own against the $1,000 processor. A recent report by HKEPC shows that Intel will be cutting the prices of certain key SKUs to make them and the price-point they’re targeting, more competitive. For instance, until now available for over US $500, and replaced by the Core i7 960, the Core i7 950 (LGA1366, 3.06 GHz, quad-core) chip will be placed at the $294 price-point, displacing the Core i7 930 2.80 GHz chip. http://www.igniq.com/2010/08/23/intel-i7-massive-price-cuts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
