Triple core isn't worth it.

AMD didnt make a good choice here. i guess if they are going to throw these chips that didnt pass 4 cores, ok, but the price it to high. they should make the 8450 sub $100 and the 8740 around $150. The X4 is the same price as the 8750 right now. what do you guyz think?

It's a brand new product. I'm sure after hype dies the price will go down to levels that will make sense.

I think that AMD cpu:s which only has 3 cores instead of 4 should be less expensive, definitely.

Very odd road and price listing .... so very strange that this is the direction they are trying to go.

Not to mention power usage does not seem to improve with 3 cores, either. Most definately rather have a 4-core phenom with that pricing. No sale.
