Re: It isn't eight cores and it's still embarassingly slow

The FX-8320E has an RRP of $146, at that price on NewEgg I can't find ANY i5's, you have to spend $179 to get a i5-4440 which is a quad core, with no Hyperthreading. Even if it's slow and hot, it's still the cheapest eight threaded CPU you can buy right now.

(And Intel have been pretending for years that HT is as good as second core, so I can't blame AMD for trying the same tactic)
