Well that was sort of what I was trying to say before. Almost 2 yrs and many people are still building what are basically the same systems with nearly the same platform performance levels, OC or no OC. With the 950 hitting the same MSRP of the 930 and older 920 we now start to see some movement. With any luck the 930 will be discontinued too. Next maybe the 960 will come down from its ~$500+ price tag to ~$300 USD,....
Keep in mind that many people are looking to upgrade a 2yr old system or replace a 3yr old system. Buying now technically means an upgrade is due and a system replacement is 12 months away,....
LOL, just kidding but you know what I mean. The Core i7 line has been a little static and part of the little movment we are seeing now may be due to the AMD Phenom II X6 line.
BTW, anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch might find this interesting:
Intel Desktop CPU Decoder iPhone App The things I see that differ now are USB 3.0, SATA 6G and SSD tech getting cheaper (and therefore finding their way into more systems). Well that and video cards,...
