Just for wild speculation purposes...

Newegg prices in USD
FX-8320 Vishera $179.99
Newegg.com - AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8320FRHKBOX

FX-8350 Vishera $219.99
Newegg.com - AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX

FX-8120 Zambezi $159.99
Newegg.com - AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8120FRGUBOX

FX-8150 Zambezi $189.99
Newegg.com - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8150FRGUBOX



SLS prices in S$
Alone prices for FX-8120, FX-8150 respectively
PCT - 229, 285
TP - 228, 278
VP - 221, 276

Generally speaking, perhaps expect initial aggaration alone price for FX-8320 to be ~$250-260 and FX-8350 ~S$310-320 thereabouts.

Reasonable aggaration?

Worth it? :)

the local amd fx chip prices are way over priced compared to the states (almost 15% more after conversion from usd; worse still the chips are made in Malaysia, so shipping cheaper... :( )

intel prices oddly enough are not as bad compared to the retail prices in states


Current newegg prices are already price-marked up from amd srp prices because of demand and low supply.

if they wish to make any impact on local market, they will have to release at current FX 8120/ 8150 prices...

not certain abt other bros but i wouldnt buy at 250-260 (8320) or 310-320 (8350)

the intel competitors are actually cheaper!
=> I5-3470 = 232 (tradepac)
=> I5-3570k = 282 (tradepac)

well to simplify..
yes amd pricing are for 1000 tray quantity but newegg prices are usually quite close unless there is a supply/ demand issue (this pricing markup also happened when bulldozer first came out too... i cant figure why though...)

In fact box prices in retailer/ large shops (I.e micro center) are very close to so called amd recommended tray prices

in any case, currently
newegg 8120 price 159 (amd tray 153) USD - 195 sgd after conversion
newegg 8150 price 189 (amd tray 183) USD - 232 sgd

6 usd for the Box and cooler lol

Local prices compared to new egg/amazon is at least 15% markup after conversion from usd

current vishera prices are already overpriced in states and add the local markup... really hard to be competitive... need to wait a month or 2 should drop back to reality

BTW Intel markup in spore is small
Newegg I5 3570k 229.99 (Intel box price 235!) USD - 281 sgd

Tradepac sells for 282 sgd

Possibly pent up demand from AMD users after BD's lacklustre debut... the Egg sold out their first batches of Vishera chips really quickly and their online auto-plus pricing mechanism kicks in once the demands is so high.

Patience is a virtue if you can wait.

Yup I agreed supply of vishera is low in states. I'm suspicious is Either

A) gfo is sscrewing amd again with supply
B) and is restricting supply to retail either to clear bulldozer stock or to keep for OEMS...

Serious? Pricing bro?

Oh saw the uploaded price list. Alone pricing is 261. I think the 8320 pricing might not be far off, just gotta wait for stocks to arrive sg. As in posts below, stocks are low huh, hope it will reach us soon.

AMD Singapore is regional HQ, hopefully this will give sls priority in getting the best chips soon. Haha.

Its 261 minus with asus mb la... Should be 180 non bundled price. Good thing the price is like the precious gen. Hopefully the 8320 will be priced at current fx 8120 price. Like this hoot la
