8O At the performance still coming in...
:? :? :? MMM, 9nm, and the rest of the "horde" will most certainly build themselves up on the CAD/CAE design scores, where the $530 E6700 runs only a bit better than a true AM2 FX-62 at $1,100+, and of course, you must dis-regard the rest of the benchmarks...
Intel rigged of course!!! :lol:
What you guys still dont get is once this $530 core processor actually is released, and lives up to the hype that it has similar and/or better performance than the FX62, then AMD wont be selling the FX62 for $1100, they will be selling it for $500. You cant charge twice the money for a inferior product, it doesnt work that way. You get what you pay for, that's why Intel has lowered their prices 60% on their netburst crapola, cause its inferior to the A64. This kind of competition is awesome for us cause whether your an Intel or AMD fan, you win either way. :lol:
Oh by the way the FX62 is $1385 at newegg.
My whole system including LCD monitor didnt cost that much.
What
you still don't get is that there is no way AMD is going to sell their FX processors for $500. That would be great, but they can't afford to do it. If AMD cut prices to match Conroe performance, they will go bankrupt.
BTW, even though I don't think it will happen, I surely would be happy
if you are right. I won't mind getting an FX62 for $500. But then, I would still probably choose the Conroe because it consumes less power and overclocks better.....
So probably AMD should price it at $300.
Exactly... the truth is out there...
AMD, I believe will lower the FX-62 eventually to a poultry $900 or so, in about 6 months...
either way, they are just beginning the long drop of hemmoraging even more cash as a result, because they have not recouped their initial investments, and the future is looking extremely red/bleak for AMD's future...
all the while Intel is solidly in the black, and looks forward to continuing to reap profits, a large portion of which will be from AMD's back...
