AMD Phenom appears in pricelist

[JumpingJack]

yes i love it how you fudge figures.
HD9500WCGDBOX CPU Desktop Phenom X4 9500 (4MB,95W,AM2) box $247.00
HD9600WCGDBOX CPU Desktop Phenom X4 9600 (4MB,95W,AM2) box $278.00
HD9700XAGDBOX CPU Desktop Phenom X4 9700 (4MB,125W,AM2) box $288.00

i estimated thats the 3.0 GHz phenom was around $400 and the QX9650 is $1149 (source)
thats a $749 difference with a 1000 points addition. my opinion intel gave some of the greatest overclockers in the world there chip to take the world record so they could price things higher. for the latest chips the come out AMD is going to take the crown for price to performance.

now if you dont mind intel fan boys look but dont post your smart *** comments.

He wasn't fudging.

300-330 bucks... looks like computsource is the place to go.

Consider that from the data we have seen so far, leaked as well as simulated (Anand's preview), a Phenom 9700 < Q6600 (performance), yet for the price the Phenom 9700 > Q6600.

This is not including the 2.5 GHz Yorkfield that if you stretch your imagination (a big stretch considering the source) will come in around 270. The only reason to buy a Phenom is if you have an AM2 board you want to upgrade.
