The Quad Core Intel 'Kentsfield' QX6700 is currently in stock at SCAN. This CPU will cost you the princely sum of £751.99, and we've been informed there are only around thirty in stock. So, if you want the fastest desktop CPU in the world, better get a move on, and if you can, make good use of the SCAN2HEXUS free shipping scheme.

And God help me, I'm thinking of buying one.. arrgh.. my wallet... my wallet!!!!

Why do I want one? I don't need it, yet i'm drawn to buy it:O_o1:

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why these cpus are so expensive and do they really bring that amount of performance gain for that money?

Most consider gpus ahead of cpus but are we at the point where spending alot on a gpu will only make sense if you match the out lay on the more expensive cpu?

Cpus are so unsexy not like the gpus anyways...

novatech have them as well - £703, roll on the 6600 version :)

god! it's just so expensive. I'll be broke if i buy it. And for a hightech motherboard like nforce 680i for about 195 quid.

It's an extreme edition chip. Which always sell for $999 even though some american sites currently have them pegged at $1499 :o

We sell the OEM version for £734.38 and if you take into account the free carriage offer it should work out cheaper than Dabs. Plus it comes bundled with a free game - Splinter Cell double Agent...What more could you ask for!

Almost within the reach of mere mortals :)

ugh, looks like im just going to have to settle for a 6600, cause being a student im not exactly rich :(

It\'s pointless to get one now unless you\'re a serious gamers, who wants to play game in very high specs.
I look forward to Amd\'s quad core.

I'd imagine there are a few people in the ipswitch area in need of "relief", should be able to earn a quad core in an evening ;)

Novatech have lowered the price to £668.58 & have 9 in stock, I use Scan on a regular basis, but the price is still very good.

Infact the lowest online in stock is a bargain £645!!
