    yes they are, there even 2.5% sales tax year around by me. they even do 50$ off Mobo when you by certain cpu's too.

    by the time i get around to re building pc im sure I can get Core i5-4670K for under 200$ from them

    Most of us can't get processors as cheap as MicroCenter sells them for. My local reseller is usually $50-$100 above retail on processors and graphics cards...and my nearest MicroCenter is around 3hrs away.

    They've given up for the most part fighting over a dying market. It's the first smart thing in many years that they have done.

    Their only hope is to get into the mobile arena with the HSA/Fusion architecture soon, if they don't then they will just be bought out for patents (or for other purposes) by someone else.

    I still can't get over how they dropped the ball on CUDA. AMD should have been the one to launch such an enterprise, instead they lacked vision and now Nvidia is reaping the benefits.

    I'm sure that the GTX-700 series will use the sun as a power source with a cable connected directly to it.

    Source: None

    That's because like I said above, Microcenter doesn't sell it anywhere near "retail", they undercut the prices. Regular MSRP for the 3770K is about $329, not $229.

    It will use a new technology that actually makes the chip endothermic.

    I don't look forward to paying for a cable long enough that it reaches the sun, then again it'll probably be cheaper than a Monster brand cable.

    Monster brand Sun power cable??? there wouldnt be enough money in the world to buy one seeing they would charge more money then there is in the world. Probably not enough cable in the world make it long enough to make it to the sun anyway or survive the heat :infinity:

    I would love to see them try though

    erm no, its not the TIM, it was the gap between the IHS and the CPU. The gap is the main reason why the IHS is ineffective.

    The Bulldozers where quite a flop, but the Piledrivers aint to bad.. Not for 180 bucks anyways. :) at 5ghz it is the same if not better in almost every test compaired to the I5 and even I7 (at same rated speeds if they can get there) in many aspecs. Sure its not the fastest CPU but then again I have ALOT more money to play around with by buying a cheaper CPU..

    Yes but at 5ghz it's a power hog. Also in the past years AMD has really kicked the bucket with cpu's. I miss the days when i had a AMD cpu that i was proud of.

    Everyone says its a power hog. If u leave your comp on 247 it will cost you 20 more dollars a year. Since I only have my PC on when I'm using it, that thought doesn't even matter anymore.


    I thought the same exact thing when I saw the eng samples.

    I think you're right, Imagine if they did proper soldering by IB everyone would run at 5ghz+, but since AMD has nothing strong to offer they go cripple it where it could shine the most.

    Now with Haswell 1 year later things start to shift by AMD side, Steamroller is not far away and they decided to remove this limit again.. Haswell will be able to OC like SB, I bet 5ghz+ with ease, not to mention unlinked pcie?/qpi bus.
