Its just illusional different when your top CPU is a few 100$.
Your '999$' part is a lot more correct than your '999-1499$' part though. You do however have a point there, but I never saw FX's above 1K really. That's Euro though, but we know how hardware prices were in those times compared to dollar prices. Shops obviously found dollar:euro= 1:1. Intel however goes nuts on certain Extreme Edition prices, even when AMD was the leading one. Then again Intel has different levels of their Extreme Editions (now) as well, you're not forced to pay >=1K to get one
