Someone posted an article about how quad core prices will soon plummet. The $266 is not what we will buy it for obviously, as that is wholesale value of 1000 units. But I expect $310 maybe for one of these upgrade dual core units at 3 gigahertz, no more than $400 for the best quad core of the current C2D generation.
What the hell? I just bought a E4300 with the intention to make it 2.4 gigahertz, now the chips that once did that for $310 stock will be what, $200 at most?
But the big question is this: will the new 45nm chips launching later this year and early next fit an LGA775 socket? If they have an integrated memory controller, I cannot see how they would work with the current FSB setup. Or am I off on a limb and LGA775 will do just fine?
