Oh man, what a nice chip. Saw it on newegg, but at $110?!!! I'll think I will wait since I don't see the need for that much speed yet. :D
 
its finally out but i am sorely dissappointed in the price, i dont need black edition but i want some L3, damn jerks.

where are the non BE PhenomX2's?
 
AMD pricing list has the 550 at $102. =/

I won't buy till it's $80-90 and combo'd with a gigabyte 790x mobo. Are you reading this newegg? =)
 
250's price should drop to atleast $79 when 545 is introduced, 550 might stay at $102 (why not, it beats E7400/7500 at $113/133)

Also, 250 has a new power state that will need a BIOS upgrade to work properly. Link
Hopefully,the power draw figures for the 250 would go down.
 
Egg has the 550 in stock at $109 right now. Shame I just built a Kuma system today, though still very impressed with the 7850's OC ability.
 
I will hold for the Athlon X4:) got a 5200+ that needs to be removed from the fleet.
