Hi, there's a shortage of the Wolfdale proccessors right? when is likely to be sorted out, a couple of weeks, much longer?
I'm in the UK, thanks

Well they were being recalled due to the temp sensor problem right??

I imagine a few unhappy customers.

Overclockers notwithstanding ..

hw much are they selling it in there? pay me+fedex+commission for my time. n ill send one for u.

when you get it back lube it up, insert it into your cavenous rectum and see if you get a date

I'm not techy and I don't follow all this stuff, I just thought maybe someone may have an idea if it'd be a fairly soon-ish or much longer

Aren't you going to get one? I'm waiting to see you on the news for some kind of apartment complex fire.. or something, like reynod vs Intel.

Perhaps Intel isn't in a big hurry anyways, since the B3's haven't hit the shelves. I would imagine some unhappy customers on that end.

In stock now: E8400 @ MicroDirect

Nope, No Temp Sensor issue.
Some Software/BIOS update required.

Stock is low due to rave reviews and high demand.

I expect the Quad Core parts to ships in late March.
This should cut demand for the E8xxx chips and allow stock to increase and price to drop below $200.
Now you just need to keep hunting/pecking as they come in/out of stock rather quickly.

couldnt help my self but i had to type. LOL

You mean.... you decline the crystal ball, or the date?

clearly the latter

Damn you people. Looking to pass some time at work by reading about wolfdale delays and end up covering my monitor in coffee because I can't laugh and drink at the same time.

Who knows? Let her answer for herself. Might be a date on the horizon.
Love is blind ya know! lol.

It'll be back in stock the day after you cave in and buy the overstocked q6600s.

Ahhhhhh hahaha

Good reply to a smart arse reply, and BTW I think the "date" he was referring to was the date of when they will be available.


I'd say you'll have to just keep checking up on suppliers in the EU. From what I can tell the Wolfdales are only being produced in 1 maybe 2 fabs. I'd imagine they are trickling out in limited numbers and due to what I would perceive as popularity, so they get snatched up right quick.
