If AMD's pricing was more like this:
FX-2100- $30 (As a replacement for Sempron. Why not?)
FX-4100- $60 (To compete with the celerons and pentiums.)
FX-6100- $90 (To compete with the i3s.)
FX-8120- $125 (To compete with i5s.)
FX-8150- $150 (To compete with i7s.)
Then Intel would be left in the dust.
But, alas, it cannot be.
They wouldn't have unlockable cores, but Intel would have a lot of trouble countering that.
Just pricing them by performance and cores.
($60 for a quad core, am I nuts!?)
People would go crazy at this value.
Even if AMD clock locked every processor besides the 6-and-8 core ones for power efficiency.
(Fun fact: at stock clocks, bulldozer processors actually are relatively efficient.)
To put this into perspective, the FX-4100 is currently going for $110 on Newegg.
Anyone else have prices they'd recommend?
This is fun.
