1600 rules. I'm planning to get one for sure as an long awaited upgrade.
I got one last week. Couldn't be happier. Best CPU for the money right now.
Yup one of the best CPUs in history tbh. Well, for price/perf/not getting botty ripped on the motherboard. It will definitely be a legend, especially as the prices seem to be dropping too. I think if Intel release their new 6 core @ over £300 it will just help AMD to sell even more of them.
Except to the 4.5ghz or go home people, but in general, yeah amd would be outselling easily if intel goes above 300.
But do they make a profit?
It's the cheaper variants of the chips that they sell.
1700/1700x/1800x has the same production cost, but they sell the cheaper ones.
Otherwise i agree, the 1600 is a sweet spot. And more and more games can use the cores = The clocks isn't as important.

It isn't? Then how come many say the 7700K is the king of gaming at the moment, due to it's high frequenzy?...
I don't know if you have noticed but on mindfactory under AM4 cpus there are some athlon cpus listed, prices and all. Is it legit?
