Re: An 8 core chip for $147?

For gaming you're still better off with fewer, faster cores, so Intel is still the way to go for a gaming box.

I'm still waiting for AMD to be properly competitive again, it'll be good for us consumers to have the old days of AMD vs Intel again.

Mind you, $150 for 8 cores is great value if you've got a heavily multi-threaded workload, I don't think Intel sell anything with that many threads near that price.
