Damn, that's just an unbelievable price difference between two
processors that come from essentially the same core!

Different cores, and there's 2 cores in the FX-62. Still a big difference
in price though.:-)

Well you need to remember that price is not cost.

Different markets, yields are never that great on the fastest parts,
die-hard gamers will pay a premium for a few extra percent in
performance, AMD can't keep up with demand, new chips and boards are
always over priced to offset R&D, yearly bonuses, filling CEOs pockets
with cash, etc,etc. There is a sucker born every minute.

Since that phrase was coined in the mid 1800s, at the current rate of
population growth, surely the sucker rate must be up to one every second?
