Hello,
can someone tell me why q9550 still more expensive than i5-760?? does not seem to make sense...

thanks

It is more expensive because they have stopped making it (or limited quantities), so supply and demand keeps the price at the current price point.

^This is true, enevitably outdated products get more expensive before they get cheaper.

Look at the prices of some of the S939's..

 

[joshyua]

so they do get cheaper i hope? lol

Yeah... they'll get cheaper about a generation or two further down the road.

When they consider them to be on-class to what we consider Pentium 4s.
