950 replacing 930?

[rogue woopa]

now that the 950 is 299 will it replace the 285 dollar 930 all together? its 15 bucks more but .2ghz faster.

Im not so sure it will sink into oblivion like the 930, but its very possible. This is actually perceived as a price cut by many people, but its actually a way to make more money for intel. The 950 doesnt really cost any more to make, and yet they can sell it for $15 more. Considering how before, it cost 2x as much, it had a very low amount of buys, but now it will be the flagship CPU, who wouldnt pay $15 more for an extra .2 GHz and higher multiplier. But now that $15 is multiplied for everyone who buys it, which will make intel a very nice amount of money. They might just get rid of the 930 to MAKE people buy the 950 and fork over the extra $15 (adds up fast), but i wouldnt count on it fully replacing it.
