fuck you intel and your super high priced cpus. $300+ is not acceptable for a cpu no matter how many cores it has. unless it can clean our houses and cook us dinner no one should be paying you upwards of $1200 for a single cpu.
Remember, AMD charged $1000+ for their top processors when they were on top too. When you have no competition, you can charge whatever people will pay.

Though I think they need to have way more unlocked and overclockable processors. I miss overclocking the snot out of $50 Celerons. Cutting off the low end overclocking has lost them money, as it has guaranteed that any low-mid range rig I build will be an AMD.
