Good so now you can get a pair of FX-74's for $599, not bad but still will be inferior to the Q6600 at $266 on July 22nd.

Funny how FX-72 and FX-74 are priced the same now.

It seems like an indirect way of saying FX-72 is EOL, but they can't remove it from the price list because they would only have one remaining >$200 desktop product.

should keep the AMD fans happy at least... we need more than Intel world thats for sure, 6000+ should be a great buy?

Newer stepping on the 5200:

It's one of the 65W CPUs, which is good:
