Today there were no signs of price list update from Intel, but we revealed a new version of the document, which noted only one change.
In order to bring the price of Xeon processors LGA 1366 in line with the prices of desktop Core i7 processors in the same design concept, Intel yesterday reduced the wholesale cost of Xeon W3680 (3.33 GHz) processor from $ 999 to $ 583. Now, this model costs the same as a desktop processor Core i7-980 (3.33 GHz) with similar characteristics. Be aware, however, that the server Xeon W3680 has a higher bus speed QPI, which allows to perform up to 6.4 billion transactions per second.
In the price list three models Intel Xeon processor LGA 1366 with six cores coexist. Xeon W3690 (3.46 GHz) and Xeon W3680 (3.33 GHz) are for different price categories, Xeon W3670 (3.2 GHz) are less attractive acquisition candidate. Related Products :
