Core 2 Quad Q6600
Intel recently unveiled its updated pricelist for Q3’s processor products. Intel
Core 2 Quad Q6600 has already experienced a large cut
from $851 per 1,000 units shipped
to $530 on April 22. The company decided to make another cut to Core 2 Quad Q6600, where
its price would be as low as $266 per 1,000 units shipped. Meaning this new processor would experience a 68.7% accumulative cut of price since its release in March. Another point that should deserve our attention is that
Intel would no longer release any Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Extreme edition. Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 processor released in Q3 will be the last Dual Core of this series.
Detalji i nagađanja oko 45nm procesora
We won't see the things on the desktop until the beginning of 2008. Given Intel's 45nm fab plant schedule,
the 45nm rollout will probably be slow like Conroe's. The cheapest price on the 45nm dual cores will be at the $183 price level, again, much like Conroe. 45nm will be the time when quadcores start becoming mainstream, and
the cheapest 45nm quadcore will initially cost somewhere around $266.
We don't expect Penryn to be dramatically better than Conroe, maybe 10-20% better mostly due to increased clock speeds.
