core 2 quad q6600 price

The assumed cost of the first four core processor from intel company â€“ the model core 2 Quad q6600 (frequency 2.40 GHz, 2x4 MB.L2 cache , 1066 MHz FSB), at the moment anoncement, according to Taiwan sources, must be $850. The date of this anoncement approaches, so it will happen in a day of the exhibition CES 2007.

Meanwhile before was noted that price of $850 is 25% approximately exceeds the cost of the pair dual core processors core 2 E6600 (frequency 2.40 GHz, 4 MB.L2 cache , 1066 MHz FSB), from the pair of crystals of which can be gathered one four core : Core 2 Quad q6600. If we reject the cost of packing and testing of each dual core the microprocessor core 2 E6600 , then gain at the cost for Core 2 Quad q6600 will comprise not less than 30%. Price is excessively overstated?

In principle, intel company did not promise to make four core in 2007 as mass production. According to the preliminary plans of company, the portion of processors series core 2 Quad will not exceed toward the end years 3% in the flow of the entire microprocessor production of company. To fence four core processor the solutions from the mass market is possible, in that number and price.
But intel policy report our sources, officially information about reduction in the wholesale price of microprocessor core 2 Quad q6600 to $531 ($850 minus 30%). . The price Of core 2 Quad q6600 thus on $1 will only exceed the cost of elder dual core microprocessor â€“ core 2 Duo e6700 (frequency 2.66 GHz, 4 MB.L2 cache , 1066 MHz FSB). But, overpaying this dollar, we obtain processor somewhat smaller performance, but optimized for four cores programs . Possibly, Intel counts on the fact that now there is no special sense to buy similar microprocessors.
Why this it is necessary for company? Answer can lie in the intention Of intel to blow up the efforts of AMD company according to the conclusion for the market for four core platform quad FX. The pair of processors AMD athlon 64 FX-70 (2.6 GHz) cost $599. this is the cheapest on the market similar of similar solution. Proposing the microprocessor core 2 Quad q6600 for $531, intel company again demonstrates her own technological superiority in the niche of multicore.
