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.
FX 8150 and FX 8120 should be $140-180 just to be competitive since they are clearly better than an i3 sandy/ivy bridge but clearly worse than an i5 sandy/ivy bridge. FX4100 should be $80 or less since they are comparable to athlon II cpus not phenom II.
I would say something like:
FX 4100: $80
FX 6100: $125
FX 8120: $150
FX 8150: $175
Then they might be competitive.
intel would just bring their prices down a tad more, but that would be better for everyone
Keep the current prices. Unless GloFo gave AMD a very sweet deal a 315mm die for <=$205 can't be good for the profit margins. It isn't AMD's problem if the GloFo's fabs are doing nothing.
wow an AMD fanboy should already know that the current architecture of AMD know as the "Faildozer" oh i mean "Bulldozer" is too slow compared to intel's current architecture, heck even the 1st gen intel can outrun bulldozer and every emulator forums always say this " Don't ever compare PC games to an emulated game" and people don't care if your bulldozer has 10 or more cores (especially when current programs runs only to 2-4 cores), when its core to core performance is too slow for an emulated game to run and phenom II can outrun that faildozer of yours, so if i am going to buy cheap cpu with that kind of performance i would rather spend a few bucks to have a stable and lasting cpu that has great performance... and dude you say you also use pcsx2?? try playing FFX-2 and post your benchmark
I did
http://www.youtube.com/user/Renowildfire1?feature=mhee will post longer ones later of it too as i play it. and of XII

I am posting a mario galaxy video that should make yous happy but I can't get it to run the same speed while recording as it does when its not.

For your info, your signature specs have too much and unneeded info. Something like what I have is all that's needed. Operating system, GPU, CPU and RAM. That's it.

ok I will Sorry about that
like i said I am new to doing this. lol Llano A6-3400M, Quad-Core, 2.4GHz how does that run?
