Intel Processor Price Cuts for July 2010

Whoever that was planning to buy the i7-870, this is your lucky day!

It is still not cheap yet.

if only intel would spend less on advertising maybe these cuts would be closer to AMD's prices... rana x4 for me until bulldozer comes out.

AMD hates it when intel lowers their prices... of course.. AMD can do some serious damage to Nvidia when they lower the prices on the HD5000 series.

LGA775 is what I would call a business socket.
Resellers who sell volume can deal directly with Intel for cpu and motherboards and stay that way because if a motherboard goes out Intel sends a new one for the next day...

With AMD you buy from a supplier and replacements take a week or a month... also AMD motherboards are from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte and so on... While intel has their own.

So LGA775 is alive in businesses and those machines will run for many years to come.

I'm still good on an E8400. Show me an i7 for $100 and I'll upgrade

Intel should give old processors like the Q6600 for free!
