$119 and $144 as compared to $175 and $184 is hardly anything to get worked up over. BTW, do you get a cut on sales at AMD? I couldn't help but notice how you compared for better impact LOL! So we compare $119 to $175 = $56 then $144 to $184 = $40 Doesn't make much sense to compare the 2.6GHz to 2.8GHz since yes we know it costs more. 4 FULLY working cores should cost more as well.

In between getting flamed, I posted in the other thread that AMD would have some of the X3's that had all four cores working but one might have been slower, needed more power and etc... than the other three. Some of those X3s will have defective cores so folks buying them and thinking otherwise is kind of lame.
idk i was just looking at the fact that locked 710 is 56.99(have to get down to the pennies now because you can't tell a difference between 99 cents and 0 cents) cheaper than the locked 810 and both the chips run at 2.6ghz. close of a comparison as you can get for triple vs quad phenoms besides the fact that the 810 has a 4mb l3. and i compared the 720 to the 940 because they both happen to be unlocked although the 720 is only 2.8ghz. yes the 720 and the 920 both run at 2.8ghz but the 720 is unlocked and is am3. and where are you getting this 144 to 184 thing from? last time i checked the 720 is 145 and the 920 is 190. so i really don't know where you are getting your facts from but w/e. so if you think im trying to do some kind of trick to make the difference look much bigger you are wrong. don't know how you think you are getting flamed but w/e, and yes if this trick does work and you can turn on another core it isn't guaranteed to get you one because some cores work and were just downcored and some are bad cores and i would not recommend someone to get a 720 if they wanted to get a quad just because they could turn another one on. so just chill out when im trying to point of obvious facts, its not like im playing mind tricks.
