The Core i5 2300 is listed at 585 MYR ($186), with the Core i5 2400 at 609 MYR ($194) and finally the Core i7 2600 is listed at 939 MYR ($299) according to lowyat.net. The site also has pictures of the three CPU models in retail packaging which are said to be from one of the retailers Facebook page. Pictures of two different motherboard models are also provided. This isn't the first time we've seen motherboards on sale early, as the same scenario took place when Intel's LGA-1156 platform launched, although processors didn't appear ahead of the launch.

Not bad, so they are charging a extra £11 for the I5 2500K. Thought the K editions were going to be quite a bit more.

Don't forget to add VAT on top, will be like 170 quid... :/ Hope no more!

This is definitley going to be interesting. Intel has aimed their gun right at AMD's midrange turf price wise. I can't wait to see how far AMD prices drop, as for right now, you can get a 1055 6 core for $179 on the egg. Guess we gotta wait and see how these new chips perform, they are aimed right at AMD users and will probably demolish them.

I'm just going to sit about and wait for some proper benchmarks to appear. I always go for the best bang for buck and I don't really care who provides it as long as it is good quality.

ATM that puts me with AMD but I'll be very interested if Intel are about to take that market over as well.

However with AMD's bulldozer platform around the corner it could be very interesting.

When you consider it costs about 50p to make a CPU they all seem expensive to me lol Tom may know a bit more about it but when you consider CPU's are manufactured in the millions, about 50p may be about right.

I totally agree, hence why Intel is so massive

Hey, but it's not really something you can make yourself

. Not to mention the development/tooling costs... Think what salary those designers are on

Thats very narrow minded, manu costs mean nothing. What about the R&D, advertising ect ect ect, theres much more to the cost of a product than just manufacturing.
