Availability check: Intel's 45nm Core 2 Duo processors
@ 2008/03/1145nm Core 2 Duos did in fact hit stores in January as promised, and we even featured the E8400 model in our deal post for January 25. However, the situation has deteriorated since then. 45nm Core 2 Duos seem to be in extremely short supply everywhere, with Newegg's lone E8400 model perpetually out of stock. Such tight availability is cause for concern a whole three months after the official launch, so we set out to check online retailers to see how many of them actually had any 45nm Core 2 Duos in stockāand at what price.
So says the Intel shareholder.
