Not really a deal. It's just part of Intel's price drops.

Hopefully Microcenter will price these at $199 soon, then I will pick one up.

Besides being 3.06 GHz versus 2.66 GHz stock, is there anything that makes this better over the 920?

Other than being easier to overclock, it holds no other advantages.

Well I am sure everyone will drop eventually, but most places including newegg are still selling these for $500 +

Atleast it's not like the skt939 fx series chips which still fetch a nice premium

OP please add this $10 coupon to sweeten the deal ($298.99). I believe It can only be used through Buy.com's site.

I had the 940 and it was a poor OC'er. Is the 950 better? Higher stock clock doesn't mean it can hit 4.2GHz.
The 940 I had couldn't go above 3.8GHz.

frys has had it for 299 for 2 weeks now.

That's probably because the 940 was C0 stepping. Anyway, you can get it at Newegg via combo deal for $290
