Attention: The e4300 price gouging has commenced

[Pax2All]

:roll: So everyones gotta make a buck but come on. I froogled e4300 (like Im sure others have as well) and came up with prices of $185 to over $200. Not only that but many of the sites are listing an in stock date of February 8th . ( Mind you one site is listing January 19th )
:? AMD might not have to get its panties into too big a knot yet...

thats the amd-killer like the 805 was - the price seems kinda high?

should be $125 !!! i agree

It's around $250 including tax in Canada... but I'll get some practice with this CPU so thats good. I hear it's made to be overclocked.

It will drop in the second quater.

The company is expected to issue its Core 2 Duo E4300 with an official price of $163 in January and to make this model even more affordable in the second quarter of this year by reducing its price to $113.

I've seen al lot of this type of 'stuff' posted of late. Strikes me that the e-tailers, in the rush to list, are pricing way over the tray price just to attract attention. Order early? LTBB... (Caveat emptor)

My 2p.

ya e6300 was $225 if it could be had in july-aug in a few months when supply and demand meets the price will drop.

i would guess $150?

$195 ouch more then e6300. The price will come down soon.

 

[Pax2All]

Yeah I remember when the 6300 was 225 or more... It will come down, but I held off for this chip 8O ....(starts dramatic music)... Maybe its for the better since we havent seen the main wave of 650i sli boards...sigh

The prices that everyone seems to have seen and decided are right are the Q2 prices. I can't remember exactly what all the E6xxx series will drop to but I know the E6600 will be $220 (Yay!). I know that HKEPC had an article on the price drops upcoming, I'll see if I can find it again.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Most of the prices are going down more or least 40% in the Q2 for the Conroes . The price of the E4300 will probably come down in a week or so, when the hype eases down or when the stores and e-tailers actually have them in stock.

Yeah, the 805 was a cheap processor, but, I would not call it an AMD killer.... other than the price. The E4300 is a different animal. The 805 could clock up pretty darn high, and the performance was good, for a precott. The 4300 can clock higher than a 6800, on AIR, and smoke any AMD chip overclocked to max. But, that's just my opinion.
