Well at least you will know who is easy to scam. If they have a system with the fx 9000 series CPU, then feel free to up the price of goods and services, and justify it by being creative with your wording.
"Hey you need this pack of 20 disposable cups, they may cost $500 but I assure you they are worth it. Unlike the competition from small companies like dixie who who injection mold the polyethylene terephthalate at 500f, we use special special polarized electricity which gives us a higher quality 500f for our injection molding machines, so you can be sure that you are getting the highest quality disposable cups.
Order now and we will even throw in a throw in a free sticker!"
I really wonder who is insane enough to buy that crap.
I am currently stuck with my Phenom II x6 1075t, and my next upgrade will be a new motherboard and either a core i5 or core i7CPU.
Most of the people who I know that stuck with AMD were budget users where at a select few price points they offer better performance for the money, and the others with the 8 pseudo core CPU, got it as an upgrade from a CPU like a Phenom II x4 955, and didn't want to spend the money on a new motherboard along with the CPU.
With AMD's latest offerings and their announcement that they are dumping the idea of making CPU's that offer good performance, in favor of the entry level APU crap. There is no reason to upgrade any further on AM3+, and users of it will likely have a stronger push to move to intel.
AMD needs to let go of their unwarranted pride, and accept the fact they they F'ed up with the latest FX crap, and start over, and release a CPU with better ipc and real cores, and not the core module crap that is really just a better version of hyper threading.
Some may say it is not, but I disagree, and I will continue to until it no longer shares the same flaws as hyperthreading.
If 2 similar tasks fall on a single core module, then the shared parts bottleneck the performance and while you get better performance than a single core, IPC is sacrificed in both "cores"
