Part of me thinks though. Yeah it's VERY good for the end user what is happening right now (Really low prices VS highly overclockable) AMD is sadly getting the short stick of it.........

When will this happy hour end? I fear for the day where even the cheapest processors will again cost about $140. It might not seem much, but I remember Intel processor prices that high (Even on the cheapest ones.) on the K6 days...... I just wish it doesn't happen again..... It's the miracle that the cheapest, latest model processor costs only $40. (Which I though was insane about a year ago.)

Maybe AMD should have bought Transmeta..... It might have helped them in this time, as AMD is Netbursting themselves to oblivion right now.....

PS : Netbursting I mean that they're trying to release processors that are in their theotherical limit due to temperatures. It's Intel's problem two years ago, now it's reversed.

Lastly..... Let's not make this an AMD VS Intel flame thread ok?
