Noteworthy price difference

At one of the suppliers I noticed a funny difference today:

  • Intel Xeon QC X3360 2.83GHz, 1333MHz, 12MB, S775, Box: 235,29 euro
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz, 1333MHz, S775, Box: 368,91 euro

Mentioned prices are excluding VAT.

I am happy its not the other way around, since we stick with Xeon normally. As far as I know there is not much difference between the two CPU's besides the branding and obviously the pricing.

Sometimes I hate computers so much. :)
