That was because just like Llano, it was in really short supply at launch. Just because something sold out right away doesn't mean it's constantly selling well. If AMD ships 100,000 BD CPU's and they are bought out immediately, they are sold out. If Intel ships 1,000,000 CPU's, and 250,000 sell immediately, they are still selling better. It's all in the context, AMD ships in lower numbers, and it appears as though the CPU's are in high demand, whichin fact the supply side is just low.

I'll stand by my continual statement that the only BD chip worth buying is the FX-8120, because at the price point with even a modest OC it's a solid offering, but the rest of the BD line is pretty much garbage.

As for the actual topic at hand, I am interested in one of those "dual-GPU" Laptops, could make for a decent light gaming laptop on days I just want to sit on the couch or lay in bed. I'd like to see some real world performance numbers, I hate just 3DMark scores.
