Minor changes to new p4's : OC-ability increased!
 

Some people are hitting 3.4-3.5 ghz easily at a low voltage with the new p4's, there seems to be an increase to the power these cpu's have even at their default setting : we see -1 to 2 seconds on super pi at same speed as before with the new cpu's.

and the pricing will get so low... unbelievable...

thinking of putting a 2.66 in my prometheia in september together with the radeon 9700

and read this too...

Great news. :)

Those price drops are really necessary in my humble opinion: P4 2.53Ghz = 810 eur :o

For the time being: give me a cheap XP2400+ @ 250 eur. :)

In Germany 2.8 costs about 600 euro...

I hope your talking about a complete setup (CPU, mobo & RAM), because @ Comtech I see this=>
Intel Pentium 4- 2.53 GHz S479 512K FSB533 In-A-Box + Cooler 366.03€

RB?
Intel PIV 2.53 Ghz MPGA 478 Boxed 512K FSB533 365 € / 14724 fr

en der moet nog een brok van de prijs af...

en when do you think we can expect this pricedrop ;)

in a few weeks

Nevermind, price dropped from 810 to 330 eur this week @ funcomp. Now that's what I call cutting prices. :D

just in case some of you might be interested, the P4 2.4GHz (priced about 440€) will drop in price somewhere next week.

@ calantak: when you say the prices for the 2.53 will drop in a few weeks, do you mean, half of september, end september, half october... ;)
just curious, very curious :p

within 2-3 weeks all cpu's below 2.53 will become half as expensive as now.
A 2.26 for example will cost 140EUR in germany
