Umm...Intel has always had $1,000 Extreme Edition processors, even when AMD was leading the show(and AMD had $1,000 processors then too).

You don't have to buy the top end to play games you know, especially not in the processor field. Intel still offers very reasonably priced processors that more than handle any game.
