Could these be the prices?
Curious as to how much the next-generation of Intel processors is going to run you? Hexus claims to have received from China a pricing list for the upcoming CPUs of the Core i3, i5 and i7 families.

While the prices are far from confirmed until Intel updates its pricing list, some have reported seeing the Core i5-750 listed at Fry's Electronics for $205, which comes close to the prices listed above.

The i3 530 and 540 are not bad prices... i will admit i've always bought AMD... but if my question above is correct, then essentially we are seeing a "quad" core for 120 bucks.. Phenom2 x2's and the Athlon2 x2's are going to be put on the spot by these guys....hard.
I'm still excited about how the i7-860 setups will compare to i7-920 machines... and if the i7-920 will be released with a more aggressive turbo stepping.
Agreed. Even DDR3 RAM prices have dropped significantly, but X58 boards haven't dropped much.
Maybe Carmack's Tech 5 engine and Doom 4 (Yes id has said there is a Doom 4 that will be made) will give us PC gamers some new standards.
I am looking forward to Dragon Age from Bioware, EA Games can still kiss my arse.
I think Intel is trying to keep AMD limping along just so there is another player in the market.
i9 is going to be 32nm 6 cores with 12mb L3 cache and supports X58 LGA1366 boards. Rumored release date is Q1 2010.
I suppose i9 is finally going to be twice as fast as my Q6600; the minimum requirement for me to upgrade.
I don't even see microcenter listing the 920.
We'll have to see how AMD responds.
I'm hoping to get an i7-860 or something similar in performance next March for ~$175. I think it's possible
they are not online orderable, in store only
Oh course they are... AMD going under is Intel's worst nightmare. The courts would break Intel up into so many pieces if that ever happened, as Intel would then be considered a monopoly. Intel needs AMD to be in the market... and vice-versa, AMD needs Intel as well. Granted, of course AMD wants more market share then they have now, but both these companies need each other.. until a viable third CPU maker come into the market. Then its gloves off
I am in EXACTLY the same situation. Only upgrade to double the power. Other option is to go for two opteron 6 core chips on one board.
