Lowest priced Yorkfield, Q9300 to sell for $270

jmke · 5th November 2007, 14:50

Last Friday we mentioned that the lowest priced Core 2 Quad Q9450, 12MB quad core processor will sell for $319. Core 2 Quad Q9450 works at 4x2.66 and Intel plans to sell its Core 2 Quad Q9300 clocked at 2.50GHz with memory cut down to 6MB for $270.

This is the CPU that should replace Q6600 with its 2.40GHz clock and 8MB cache memory, with FSB 1066MHz that is currently priced at about $270. Core 2 Quad Q9300 is a 45nanometre CPU and will have the memory size cut down from 12MB to 6MB but this should not affect most of the tasks CPUs do.

smart move to put off the overclockers from their cheap CPUs, low multi and cache are a turnoff

They probably make extra cash by reducing the cache and increasing the FSB.

Q9450 is going to be a new Q6600, or even a Q6600 on crack because the lower power consumption and 4 Ghz easy are real turn-ons
