Intel Holiday Rebates

[PoTaToEs]

Last time around Black Friday the rebates were really lame, at least for US buyers: e.g., a few bucks off prebuilt systems at newegg (other two stores are Canadian), but nothing for CPUs.

Products:

Processors, NUCs, SSDs

Last time it was Prebuilt System, Processors, NUCs, and SSDs, but newegg only offered them with the Prebuilts (the other two places had discounts on CPUs though).

I hope the deals are going to be actually good!

1 US dollar = .83 AU dollars

~400 USD for a WF G1 970 with tax

/.83 = 480 AU dollars

Still cheaper than this: http://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-4gb-gaming-video-card-ab57087

$800 is what they are selling for in australia....

After the current transfer rate is calculated in the difference is only AU$35.07.

It's Dec. 13.  When will the update be posted?

[SteveGrabowski]

Well, newegg has the i7-4790k back at Black Friday pricing of $300US, but I still see nothing about rebates.

[game_mil]

Nothing yet.

Glad I put off buying my processor for over a week now... checked it once every hour and nothing.

[ignorethisone]

anyone have an update on this? I've been putting off buying a processor for a few weeks now

Hard to beat Newegg's current $300 for the i7-4790k deal right now, unless you live near a Microcenter. I'd be shocked if any of the rebates topped that.

[Commander_Z]

for a decent motherboard and an i7 is $600

EDIT: GPUS are worse $800-$900 for a GTX 980

 

I paid $650 for my Strix 970

Any idea when the update will arrive.  I am interested in the deals prior to the Holidays. :-)

[AdamKingGames]

[PowerPigeon]

I think they haven't updated the thread because the retailers haven't released any info yet:

Ohh a whole 50$. Thats just going to cause a stampede of customers. *sarcasm*

What, do you want it for free?

[annaheim]

What happened? It's December 14 already? :< Will we have extensions for this will it still end on December 20th?

[BlargKing]

What, do you want it for free?

No, but when they've been advertising this "big sale" for 2 weeks and making it seem like a huge event, 50$ off seems a bit lackluster. I mean, 50$ off a 350$ CPU isn't bad, but I was looking at one of the new 10-Core Xeons for my workstation, and its still just 50$ off, which on a 1800$ CPU is almost useless.

D'oh.

[SteveGrabowski]

So are these not happening?

[Darthfrog]

Looks like it was a false alarm.  I am, however, surprised that Linus isn't protecting his reputation and telling us what's (not) going on.
