yipee.......
gr8 news, let's c how intel responds after releasing conroe.
don't expect any price cuts from intel except the ones mentioned, core 2 duo is already very good for the price.
But the availibility of the COre Duo will be an issue.
wat bout the prices of other FX processors??
well even if AMD cuts prices by >50% i'll still go for Conroe .
hey wat about FX processers.... only 1 price cut...
yeah,i cant see FX 53 or FX 55 or FX 57 price cuts...............
noone will buy them now...core 2 duo beats it in performance in gaming..and also in price
btw in south amd 3800+ has reached 8.5k frm 16.5k...so the color we can c the change
everyone would buy them if there would have been a price cut of FX processors large enough to compete the core 2 duo....but there r no price cuts of FX processors,so Core 2 Duo is best 4 everyone now in Gaming.
Or,should we wait for the AMD comeback.
do all lga 775 intel mobos support core2duo processers
but dude.......core 2 duo is easily overclockable........and reaches upto 3.8ghz on air cooling..and beats amd daMN BADLY....
btw me too waiting for amd answer but no such thing goin to happen till 2008..when architecture change will tak place.....till then njoy cheap prices frm amd.......
market pricenot forever...butreductionin prices at regular stages..man......
also wait for 2-3 weeks ... and c then check the market
yeah,i believe AMD will further cut prices after a moonth or two.
how much real price fall is there in Indian markets. Is it same 30-50% here also ?
its confirm prices r down..in hyderabad its 9.1k.........x2 3800+...also 1 frnd bought it for 8.4k.........but i doubt h got it frm states.....so trust the first point......
and yup delta pages chennai alsogiving the same proccy for 8.5k........so its done here.....jus wait till 29th-31st july than check your respective markets
X2 3800 still looks costly to me. If u convert it to dollars ($1 = Rs. 46), then the price in India is ~$186 which is quite high compared to ~$150 in U.S.
yep,a little costly but quite a good deal now anyways.
16.5 to 8.5...still u find it costly........montylee..
its much better than shops...which when i tried to ask for x2 price..was trying to stick me 4200+x2 for 19k..along with som fu#$%%board...saying its damn good peice.......
4200 + x2 price will settle at 12k soon........but 3800+ x2 is easily overclockable to 2.6ghz which beats 4400+ too damn easily........
nyways u can upgrade to pent 4 now easily there prices has also fallen
i found X2 3800+ a little costly bocz of my limited budget.
Still i am keeping my options open: I would buy either a X2 3800+ or a single core 3800+.
I'll definetly go for conroe,, besides FX and 4800+ isn't available... i'll buy core 2 duo
hey som1 answer me yaar....
do all lga775 mobos support core2duo processors
r these cuts also there for mobile technology....and which amd (dual core) cpu is recomended for a lap....in a better price....
cheers
@speedy see the amd turion 64x2 range....

today's x2 price ..
amd athlon x2 -3800+ - --- 9500 rs ... would u believe it .. this is the same proci used to be around 14000rs .. great proci in this range .. great overclocking chip ... this couple with a8 ne would do wonders ..
ohh... what a great time to buy new pc ..
yogi wait..banglore frnd confirm prices there 8.2k..........
it will fall upto 7.5 then will stick to that..so good buy when goes below 8k......
montlyee if goin for single core...then go for amd 3000+ it still rocks beleive me.........jus overcl it and will giv u same performane upto 3500+...also its price has gone upto 3.9k now.......but plays all latest games damn well.....obviously not oblivion type
also ppl thinking to buy conroe.......make sure be ready for 35-45k damage.......
as no board is available yet here.....also good board will brek u upto 15k.....and also ddr 2 kit not the best available her yet.......arrang frm abroad or wait..and another 10-15k missile
yeah, conroe is not the way even if it is cheaper and fast than its amd counterparts cuz u'll have spend so much of it getting other hardware to run conroe.
well...one of the guy onother board have pasted a gr8 topic..whether u shd go for c2d or not..........i can post his end conclusion(not the whole article as he has wrote being that site mod) here............if u guys want that article i can mail u......since i cant put other sites name here......i m posting his end conclusion here......
his name is switch on that board.......mayb he post here too.........if u find that info valuable all credits to him..........
NOTE::THiS CONCLUSION ISDEPENDING ON INDIAN MARKET SCENARIO
So the crux of the matter according me is :
If you are buying a newsetup... Look for a Conroe eyes closed.
If you upgrading from a Pentium D setup or a Pentium 4 Setup Conroe makes sense.
If you are jumping from Socket 939 Single core platform to Conroe then think twice. Its a tricky situation as of now. An AMD X2 is good for you. You get to keep the same Board + RAM and invest a small sum(As compared to conroe setup in full).
If you are jumping from an AMD dual core setup then either you have big pockets or you are Brain Dead(No offense).

also quadcore coming next year......so again c2d price will go down.....also amd ddr3 is in pipeline..so again ram change..so b carefull before upgradation......
I have bought Intel Pentium D(dual core) Processor 3.0 Ghz for Rs 9600 and Intel 945 motherboard for Rs. 6000 3 days ago.I also checked the prices of AMD processors but they are very expensive.
Quad core is coming this year itself Q4.
Its all bout $$$$$$$$$$$$$
oh comon, buying a new Athlon64 CPU, such as 3800+ X2 is not that bad either.
For power hungry users who have money, C2D is the best way, however for those who want to buy a system now, which will last for 2+ years, get an Athlon 64 3800+ AM2, cos the prices are down. The performance is low compared to C2D, but if u compare the 3800+ X2 with E6300, which have almost equal price, u can't be that wrong buying AMD. It's just a 5% difference, which won't even matter
if u go higher, like Athlon 64 4200+ etc, then better leave it & buy a E6400/E6600 insted, it gives better performance per watt & best bang for the price
i m true amd lover hope after this market share may go up
It was obvious since they're getting tough competition from Intel.
X2 5000+ is availabe for only 300 bucks in the US...................i wonder whats the price here.
