Yeah but, logically thinking, what good would be for AMD a 1000$ enthusiast CPU collecting dust on the shelves due to lack of enthusiasts' interest?One would have to be delusional to believe the fx-62 will be priced at $350. Even the fx-55 is around $600 still. Just think logically for one second what a $350 fx-62 would do to AMD's pricing structure. $50 x2 3800s?
Please dont say that AMD fanboys would buy it anyway, cause most of them only dream about such CPUs, and they buy x2 3800 instead...
If AMD can't price the FX CPUs competitively, then it should recall them from the market, completely.
Same goes for the x2 3800.
The situation for Intel is different, since they can leverage their market position and contracts with OEMs and big retail chains to get rid of the worthless PentiumDs..
AMD is essentially withdrawing quite a few chips from production, like the 2x1MB versions, due partly to production costs to high to market them today, and additional heat generated from extra transistors...
