1st off, its simple. Go pickup a used 2500k for $130-$150 and be happy.
2nd, post in the AMD cpu section please!
their latest core produced some pretty good numbers, better than i expected so that might be part of the reason but i think a big part of it is that they dont want another 1st generation phenom problem to repeat
Slightly off topic, but first gen Phenom problem? Sorry, my 965 was my first higher end AMD CPU purchase since the s939 days, so kinda out of the loop.
as to the other question, I am skipping pile driver and waiting for steamroller.
In my overclocking and game rigs i have fx4170, 965be, 955be and a 9850.
This seems like a likely culprit to me.I imagine AMD wants to focus on the APU department, aren't they involved with the next XBox and Playstation? And there's a line of Windows 8 tablets and laptops with the APU.

That's going to be quite some waiting, you may as well get the 4300 or 6300.
