...What we are curious about is if the [Zen] pricing rumors are correct. The highest-end 8-core will be $500, while a second, slower eight-core chip could be as low as $350. This will really scare the bejesus out of Intel as it is promising better performance for half the price.
Other rumours say that the six-core SR5 will hit the shops for $250 and the quad-core SR3 will be $150. Chipzilla gear will set you back $320 for its quad-core Core i7-6700K chip, and the cheapest six-core costs $380.
