In these 6 tests the BD cpu averaged 130 fps with AA. The i7 averaged 131.5 fps with AA.

Answer me this - if that BD chip was $50 would you even consider buying anything else for gaming? What about $100? How much is that 1.5 extra fps worth? This is the reality of enthusiast gaming, not ridiculous 600x480 resolutions.
You would think people on enthusiast forum should know that fast CPU is essential for gaming in 2011:

PS. 50-100$ seems like a reasonable price for AMD offering.
