Something is not right here..I am confused about a few things:

1. How can a company make a new product which is lower/equal to the older product line. I dont see OCZ coming out with a Vertex 4 which is slower than the Vertex 3, unless there is some significant change in life of the said SSD

2. How are the planning to price it at 285 USD, if most reviews have shown it to be equal to or below PH II?

3. If the discussed performance is true, then should AMD have marketed this as a 4 core, 8 thread chip?

On 1, I have no answer, but I guess if anything changes then it will be on launch date ...maybe..

On 2, I have heard the number of chips available is going to be extremely low on launch...could this be the reason for the high prices? Low supply, normal to high demand??
