That's entirely my point. No one's forcing you to buy their high end product nor should they price their top end product the same as now if it does compete with Intel's. The only reason why their products are so cheap right now is because the performance isn't there. If it performs accordingly then they would be stupid not to raise the prices. As usual, there will always be good midrange products, probably even affordable 4+ module processors, just not the high end - which is perfectly fine.

It's like Movieman said about SB and overclocking:no where in any law does it state that they have to let us overclock via fsb, or even at all. Sure it was nice to get high end performance for 1/6th the price, but their goal, as with any company's is to make money. Same goes for AMD, no where does it state they have to sell their top processors for a loss. So instead of asking for what you likely never will recieve, instead just take what the market gives you, and that will be a very powerful midrange product for $200-300.
