No doubt AMD is doing this to fend off Haswell until their Steamroller cores are ready. Regardless, I think this is such a ridiculous product, obviously just an overclocked Vishera chip with the ridiculous TDP to boot. As if the FX-8350's TDP wasn't high enough, AMD wants to increase it even more. And, no doubt this will command a nice premium. Heck, just get an FX-8350 and run it at 4.8GHz, which a lot of folks seem to reach with a proper motherboard (and yes, I bet this will also require a good mobo to work with, so just get an FX-8350). Btw, I love AMD but I'll still criticize them if I think they're doing something stupid.
