Core 2 Duo late.

[Whizzard9992]

Well, D-Day is here and surprise surprise, no Core 2 Duo in-stock anywhere.

It seems 8/6/06 is the actual launch date.

90% of the US enthusiasts are pumped on life about 7/27. Why give out that date for months in advance if you're going to &%$# it up?

System builders like Dell gets them first.

Same deal when AM2 Athlon 64 was launched on May 23rd. You could only buy a complete PC with the AM2 Athlon 64 on that date. People had to wait about a week (4 days?) before retailers started to sell the individual CPUs.

This phenomenon shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who follows these launch dates.

Dell has them?

 

[rochin]

Yes Dell has them. The XPS 700 can come with them.

In stock now E6300. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80858

Surprisely zzf had them for $199 from 9pm-11pm last night, and the orders were actually processed today. But elsewhere, ya the conroe is pretty much no where in sight today...

It is no surprize, they have or had them, and if you want/wanted one, you have to seek and place your order... if you are wise and lucky you will get yours within a couple of days or first in line for next stocking...
But to not order one, and just post a bitch thread shows your actual intent in posting, and it is more about jealousy and not about availablity...

CHECK TIGER DIRECT NOW!!!

 

[sony3127]

A lot of the websites I've gone to have said they should be available TODAY at 3PM EST/ 12PM PST. Besides, who wants to pay these high @$$ prices today? Just wait a little bit and they will come down as more ship from Intel.

CHECK TIGER DIRECT NOW!!!

Ya, the 6700 is in stock

Please read the THG article about todays release of Conroe processors @ 11:30 PST...

When working for a large computer retailer we were only allowed to release M$oft products at the time they told us. Just happened to be 12:01am on the day of the release..

We had them in stock but could not even say anything.

As stated watch as the day progresses..

Yup... its not just the computer industry either. I remember a few times where CD retailers would have CD's on shelves weeks before the release date... of course if the label found out they'd be in a bit of trouble.

hehe I just ordered a e6600 too I can't wait!!!

Guys, it's just now 12:00 noon on the East Coast. It's 9:00 AM in CA. This is just day 1 of the new product introduction and I'm not surprised that some outlets don't have stock available yet. I'm, also, not surprised that those that do will try a little "price gouging" - if you don't fall for it, the prices will normalize.

Give the thing a few days. I'm sure, product will be available as things get rolling.

Check this Intel site: Where to Buy - US. Seems they are taking care of the OEM's before they are fully stocking the retail outlets.

I'm locking this thread, because I want everybody to relax and stop this "paper launch" BS ...
