There is an embargo on the price drop.
To confirm SCAN will be matching any price drop and stock will land at the same time as everyone else as well, so no stock will be shipped any sooner through pre-ordering now.
Not forgetting Free carriage on a next day service from SCAN...
Best Regards

I have a skt 939 X2 ;) Anyway a higher speed bin means it will be more stable on lower volts, which is a good thing :)

I'm not sure I agree - it's the same price as the bottom of the range X2 chip was five years ago, and there's been five years of inflation and technological advancement in the meantime. It's not a budget chip, I'll give you that, but it's a reasonable price for an enthusiast line chip.

Aye, definitely a decent price to get the architecture.

Sorry to sound like a noob here, but why is the Hexus OcUK relationship so bad?
Re: News - Intel halves price of Core i7 950
Yeah, whats the history between them two?
Re: News - Intel halves price of Core i7 950
I thought it was a Novatech vs OCuk thing. Pretty sure Hexus is above that nonsense. ;)
