AMD Vishera FX-series CPU gets pricetag
Pricing of AMD's upcoming Piledriver-based "Vishera" FX-series processors have hit the web. These prices aren't official though, they are the pre-order prices from a store named BLT. BLT store recently started to take pre-orders on four AMD FX "Vishera" chips, models FX-8350, FX8320, FX-6300 and FX-4300 that are priced at $253, $242, $175 and $131, respectively. While the FX-8350 and FX-6300 were expected to be released in the first group of the new FX processors, the other two were not supposed to be launched in the first consignment, which shows that AMD has adjusted its plans.
According to CPU World world web-site, specifications of the chips currently listed for pre-orders are as follows:
AMD FX-8350 - eight-core, 4.0GHz/4.20GHz, 8MB L2 + 8MB L3 cache, 125W - $253
AMD FX-8320 - eight-core, 3.50GHz/4.0GHz, 8MB L2 + 8MB L3 cache, 125W - $242
AMD FX-6300 - six-core, 3.50GHz/4.10GHz, 6MB L2 + 8MB L3 cache, 95W - $175
AMD FX-4300 - quad-core, 3.80GHz/4.0GHz, 4MB L2 + 8MB L3 cache, 95W - $131

Could we please leave cost accounting 101 from this?
You guys are trying to gauge the price by the expected performance....but the performance makes little difference to the price. Even if they perform closer to the Athlon64 X2 5600....AMD still has to cover their expenses. Can't sell at a loss just because the performance sucks.

Actually the performance makes most if not all of the difference. People don´t give a crap about the expenses a company has to incur to make their products. People only care about the features, performance and price of the products a company offers. So if the performance is weak AMD will just have to sell their CPUs at a loss or leave them on the shelves gaining dust...
I just hope they make competitive CPUs this time because Intel really needs some competition although i have to agree with the other opinions saying that the CPUs seem expensive, just like when Bulldozer CPUs were released...
