A prominent retailer started quoting prices for bundles of next-generation "Ivy Bridge" Core processors and motherboards based on Intel 7-series chipset. The table below reveals prices in Singapore Dollars (SGD) of a large number of board+processor combinations. The table includes current-generation "Sandy Bridge" Core processors and 6-series chipset motherboards, too, as the platforms are inter-compatible (you can run Ivy Bridge processors on 6-series chipset motherboards, and Sandy Bridge processors on 7-series chipset motherboards).

From these rates, VR-Zone derived estimated prices of some Ivy Bridge Core processors, again, in the Singapore market.

• Intel Core i7-3770K ： S$420 – S$430 (US $335 - US $343)
• Intel Core i7-3770 ： S$375 – S$385 (US $299 - US $307)
• Intel Core i5-3570K ： S$285 – S$290 (US $227 - US $231)
• Intel Core i5-3550 ： S$265 – S$255 (US $211 - US $203)
• Intel Core i5-3450 ： S$235 – S$245 (US $187 - US $195)
