Well, it's official, Intel is about to lose the game, if they haven't already (Intel's Hex core, which has 6 physical and 6 logical equaling 12 cores, is about 1000 USD if I recall.)
These new hex cores fit in already-made AM3 Slot 140W Motherboards, so no need to upgrade a motherboard if you have one that supports it.
Haha! This is good news, hardly suprising though, one of the reasons i love AMD is the prices ^_^
i am planing on buying this when i get paid soon, it seems like it will be worth it.

2011 has bulldozer coming out too. Might want to wait unless you plan to upgrade next year again?
(Bulldozer needs a new motherboard, goddess forbid. Won't work on current AM3s.)
