When will the Q9450 be released and when can we actually buy it?

It appeared more that they are advertising systems with a Q9450, but not necessarily do they have them yet. I can remember when I tried to buy a Dell years ago that had a new Intel CPU in it. Their estimated delivery time was two months. I called up Alienware and asked about the latest AMD chip of the era, and they said they would have it to me in three to five days, including shipping time.

Ok, my point is that the Q9450 may have shown up on their website, but a person may have to wait a few months before it gets delivered. Don't know if Dell is better now on building and shipping then it was before, but that was my experience.
 
Ah, a QX9650. Yes, that will provide plenty of speed. Got a spare $1100 for that couple hundred extra mhz?

I think before I spend that much on my computer, I will buy a supercharger for my Cobra. But that's a different kind of speed. But oh, what a blast it would be to run at 180 MPH. :sol:
 
:lol: this is just a preview of what if amd bk's....
i'm sure intel is gettin it's share of the "supply/demand" gouging...
even if it's, how far can we jack the price's up when we destroy amd... 😍

come on amd git yer chit togetha. :pfff:
 
Intel said we would get the chips by the end of 1Q 08, so there's still another week left. Any later and Intel can join AMD for making promises that it doesn't keep. :non:

When can we see it on Newegg? Maybe Apr 1. :lol: Maybe we'll see it by Apr 15, just in time for the "Taxman". :ouch: Other than that, yeah, like you said....
 
Politics... release date will always be pushed back until competition (AMD) shows some muscle. Right now Intel doesn't have to drop prices of their chips, which is great because they can spend less on R&D, manufacturing etc, and have higher profit margins.
Personally I can't see the benifit of some of these newer processors. Right now games seem to be limited to GPU and the majority of people are still using hard drives... SLOOOOW.
If I were running Intel, I would be slow to bring out processors. They were expecting the Phenom to be a little more powerful.
 
All this secretiveness (by all of the companies) is getting on my nerves. I hope AMD can kick start the industry, but I doubt that will happen until their 45nms. Looks like we can look forward to quite a few more months of this.
 


Yes, the secretiveness, delays, etc is very nervewracking. :fou: Unfortunately, when AMD finally drags out their 45nm sometime next year, we can expect, well, we can hope its not another Phenom. At least the ATI 4xxx series of cards should be out in a couple months, barring any delays. Probably won't be any, because ATI is the division that's making AMD some money at the moment. :bounce:
 


Do you know if this website actually has the q9450 in stock? Or is it just another one of those pre-order sites that you can find on google checkout?
 
That's what it says and I went to act like I was going to buy it and it was letting me choose over night shipping and all that. If they are lieing then that is false advertisement. They have a little thing at the top that says what they have in stock and everything and the 9450 is one in green saying in stock so,, that's a yes to me.
 


I think the $319 price was per thousand. So like, if you order a thousand of them, you can get $40 off on the individual price.

I'm still holding out for a Q9550, though.
 



Pff... you can't tell at that distance. Those could be anything. 😛
