The prices for six cores is much more than most people pay for a computer.

Another useful and interesting post.

Poor AMD getting trashed by Intel, that has to hurt.
I will still support AMD and buy ATI graphics cards.

  When I frist started building I looked at AMD, thay were using copper vs Intels steel,  heard of people crushing the copper and used Intel.  Anyways the competition is good for both of them.
