are you sure ?

I couldn't find any articles about it, but that does seem a little low, especialy if it outperforms a 920, which costs about $230.

The 925 and 915 are clocked at 3.0GHz and 2.8GHz, respectively. Both contain twin 2MB L2 caches, run over an 800MHz frontside bus and support 64-bit addressing. In addition to VT, they don't feature Enhanced SpeedStep - both technologies are present in higher-end 9xx-class Pentium Ds.

Intel will debut the VT-less Pentium D 925 at $178.

Neither VT or Enhanced SpeedStep are useful. SpeedStep slows down your processor when it thinks that you don't want full power. I have it disabled!

All Preslers are having huge price drops Monday, with the release of the 960 and 965.

Quote:

By the time the 960 launches, the 950 will have been re-priced at $316 - a reduction of 50.3 per cent. The 23 April price cuts alleged by the Taiwanese sources will see the 940's price fall from $423 to $241, a reduction of 43 per cent; the 930 will drop to $209 from $316, down 33.9 per cent; and the 920 will also end up priced at $209, 13.3 per cent below its current price, $241. All prices are per processor when sold in batches of 1000 CPUs.

I found this link on the forums, it talks about it aswell.

I stand corrected.

hmm but i hear the D 9xx series dont stand up there with AMD in Gaming Forsure, but Price\Preformance the D9xx series will win in the price cut i guess, but still if you want gaming wise re-think that.

blade_3k · 04-23-06

and will these price cuts be affected in canada? becuase its the 23rd all the sites i checked have the same prices

The 925 has the C1 revision, meaning it uses less power and generates less heat, giving a even better overclock than the B1 revision. Tests on the 965 (C1 revision) show it running 10C cooler than the 955 (B1 revision) even though it is running at 340Mhz faster.

That is a pretty powerful CPU. You will be able to overclock to about 4.3-4.5Ghz on the processer, at 4.2Ghz a Pentium D matches a FX60....

I like this one... this would be the nicest for an Intel Build, unless you'd liket to wait for Conroe.

Yes, I second that. It is THE best performance per dollar you will get.
