&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
AMD has a 5x advantage on the price of the CPU alone, not factoring in the price of the motherboard and other components (this is a 4 socket Intel motherboard vs. a dual socket AMD).&lt;p&gt;5X. That&amp;#x27;s incredible.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>zamadatix</author><text>I think it&amp;#x27;s best to say it the way they did. It&amp;#x27;s one thing to be faster per dollar but it&amp;#x27;s another thing for to win on performance as well.&lt;p&gt;From single core to same number of cores to having more cores  the 7742 wins in each case and still comes out on top. That&amp;#x27;s  far more amazing than being 5x cheaper. Everyone has known Intel has charged an outrageous premium for a long time but it was also the best so people dealt with it.</text></comment>

Given their performance, and no other competition in x86 market besides Intel, surprised they chose to sell at such a steep discount.&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, such pricing decisions can perpetuate “you are a weaker substitute” perception.</text></comment>
