Damn son, this is a really good move. May be an attempt to grab console players moving to the next gen from the PS3 and Xbox360 to the PC, they no longer have a reason to scream 'But gaming PCs cost $2000!'

Nope.

Edit: Grammar

Holy crap! $153 for a fx-8320 where the cheapest one i could find was for $179.

Yeah, it was a total "holy hell" moment when I saw that price, I think I might grab one :D .

& you can get an unlocked 6 core for 112$, that's seriously an astonishing deal !

I am still on a 1090T, so hopefully they will also slash the prices over here although i could order from Amazon using the site you recommended, WorldShip. The price change hasn't occured yet on Amazon, Newegg, NCIX etc, so i'll have to see. At the moment, i would have to pay $28.76 for shipping if i was to order the CPU with the new price of $153, the total price is more expensive then the current price of $179.

These are not retail prices:

 

This listing reflects pricing for direct AMD customers in 1000-unit tray quantities, except when designated as PIB quantities.

Take a look at what I’ve been watching…

8320. 

 

then overclock it in the bios with the core multiplier. thats what an 8350 is. just a higher clocked 8320

The FX 8350 is a higher binned chip & will overclock slightly better than the FX 8320.

The FX 8320 is still my favorite though, it offers insane performance for the price.

Holy sh*t! I really want to know how much money they are making per CPU/APU. 

This should give you an idea about how much money intel makes on a quad core with hyper-threading (3770K) A LOT !.

FX6300 $5 more than FX4300 and it it $165NZD down from $210 what a steal for all that performance. :) I got my 8120 for $180 lat year, still waiting for Steamroller unless there is a price drop in 8350 as well.  PS. also a $40 drop in FX8320 here too.

This is most likely so that they can stay competitive with Intel when they launch Haswell! I might grab myself an A8 just for a Home Theater PC :D Great news AMD

So when will the consumers see the difference? I know these are not retail prices, but those prices would naturally decrease too I suppose? 

The new price cuts have begun to take effect, the FX 8350 also dropped 10$.

True, FX 6300 currently costs about 116$ so theoretically AMD can make 12 cores for 232$ ! O_O

or 24 core for $464 :blink:  ME WANT IT!
