Why did AMD Athlon FX-53 go up in price??

[neonerd]

Anyone know why AMD raised the price? Or is it just newegg? I know it used to bge $733, but if you check now on the front page, it's $799!

Retail vs OEM?

Why, were you planning on buying a few?

Chip prices go up and down depending on supply and demand.

maybe because the 940 is out?

AMD takes away one pin and charges $66 more and that's supposed to make sense?

it makes sense that there's a price difference, but no, i totally agree...one pin shouldn't make a difference like that. I mean there was no difference between the FX-51 and FX-53 in price, there shouldn't be a difference because of one pin either. But it explains it tho
