I agree... AMD needs something to boost sales (Like core2duo)

Their Phenom processor looks great, but it's going to be a high-end line to take over for the FX. We really need something in the mid-range to compete with the E6600 or even the E6300 with its overclockability.

Mid-range... no high-end sounds good! We need something with incredibly power to blow away intel

Oh and, how much cost are we looking at for the Phenom? (highest one)

I'm guessing pretty high ($1000+) just like most processors are when they come out (For the highest model of course!)

I mean, I think it will be higher. It should be for what it is! (Quad core!) And the highest one will probably have at least 8MB L2 cache... I can smell a very high price tag. $1500+ (if there is a server edition)
