Same goes for if AMD help the $1000 product and Intel the $350, you get what you pay for.


In the end if you're willing to pay $450, then pay $450. If there is a $1000 product from the same company, you can bet your ass it's a better product. No company in their right mind would price their product at $450 if it was deemed to be worth $1000 by the market.

Honestly who cares if it's high end or not? If you gave me the choice between an i7 970 and an AMD 1090t, I would take the i7 hands every time even though it's not the top end product and the 1090t is because the performance lies with the i7. Same goes for graphic cards and so on and so forth. You pay for performance, not for the name (or at least you should be, otherwise you're getting ripped off every time).


yes i understand your point ... your the guy who couldnt care less about high end cpu's because he doesnt have the useage for it .. so he doesnt deem it needed for others either so he coudnt care less if its priced @ 1000$ and to that person 1000$ cpu means its high end because that market deems it is .... and guess what ???? these company could get more sales and make more proffit per waffer if they would be willing to cut down on their proffit margin .... selling more @ lower price = more sales wich in the end = more exposure for company etc .... but yes people on xs feel more powerful when they have a 1000$ cpu ....
