Conclusion i draw from those prices are as follows..

2700K>8150>2500K>8120
Thanks for posting this. Looking at the price of 8150 I wonder what will happen to 1100T after FX launches. If the results leaked so far are accurate then 8150 will loose quite a bit of benchmarks to 1100T.How will they justify 266$ price when you can buy older generation of their own products that can perform the same or better while costing 26% less(AMD lists 210$ for 1100T on their website as price for distributors). If 1100T goes down in price after FX launches(which always happens with new product launches),then picture is even worse for FX. Then you will have even more affordable Thuban X6 ( <200$ ?) at 3.3Ghz that OCs easily to 3.8Ghz+ on air. Price/perf. ratio of FX will then be even worse IMO.
Note this is all based on what we know via the leaks and what people in the know (such as xsecret and chew*) hinted so far.
Nothing makes sense to me.

PS And yes,I know 32nm means higher OC for FX but who cares about that when you can OC Thuban as well.With IPC deficiency you will end up at the same spot with Thuban @4Ghz even if you push FX 81xx to 4.5Ghz+ ...
