    Nope. If you have a personal fortune in the billions, buying one of those would be pocket change.

    Looks like Intel are trying to get some of that fine money back by charging silly amounts.... Be interesting to see how many of these actually roll of the production line and that Intel actually sell.
    I bet AMD will frame this price as a reminder on how good value they are.

    Be a good PR campaign actually. For one of Intels CPU'S, by 10 of ours....
