I doubt it. If it does drop it won't be anything drastic (at most $15).

You should get it anyway. It's a great CPU and worth the price.

Yes they do. The Q6600 was subject to a HUGE price drop back in the day. Also they often do a group price reduction.

I think the q6700 was $500-ish and dropped to sub $300 range + unreal 3 during the q9xxx release.

they will drop the price to compete if they have to. AMD hasn't given them any real competition for almost 6 years so intel had no reason to drop prices. With bulldozer around the corner, intel just might have to drop their prices or risk losing marketshare.

I paid $179 for it at Micro Center. That was a month ago.

With Socket 2011 and 1155 Ivy Bridge around the corner I highly doubt Intel is worried at the moment!
