The article looks like damage control. Of course if games can be as low as on Steam during holidays...sure but I'm pretty sure no one is expecting that...maybe games will be 50$ instead of 60$ but that's it. We will see...

It's an interesting release, I would like to see how much voltage they use and how much OC headroom they have. These are better binned chips after all, price must be below 500$ to be competitive tho.

Well that's just well binned chips which is fine, enthusiasts will like it. Of course an overclocked i5/i7 will perform better, use much less watts and will also cost less but who cares really? it's for enthusiasts remember? also 220w...

Meh, Haswell and Ivy are already "refresh" to me, except on the iGPU side. Intel really need competition, they are slacking on the CPU side for obvious reasons.

Memory price was excessively low so I'm not surprised, it had to happen at some point.

My first computer was a Pentium 90 with 8mb of RAM, I was used to 486 performance and was mind blown of the performance boost in games.

I suppose the 900$ price justify the huge performance boost. The new 300$ card will probably be the x50ti instead of the x60ti because of that, no big deal really, performance will be there anyway.

As many others said, for 2600$ you can get a real custom PC with everything new in it, Alienware is not worth it.

There is 2 turbos on the FX, one with all cores and one with half the cores. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors Stock speed is rarely even used if I remember correctly (I used to have a 8120 but sold...
