According to the numbers I'm seeing at TGDaily, not only are the lowest retails prices for AMD's tri-core and quad-core chips nearly identical, Amazon's actually selling some quad-cores for less than the cost of a tri-core. Make sense to you? Yeah, me neither.

"Leaving aside the fact that AMD recently decided to attach near-mainstream price-levels to its fastest quad-core CPUs, we were told today that the triple cores in fact fetch more money than the quad-cores in the retail segment."
