Well, I WAS going to ask about this, but it looks like someone already did.

Also, according to AMD the suggested retail price for this processor is $93,
which means anything more then that is a rip off.

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_756_3734^60
9,00.html

Since this isn't a purchase direct from a vender, I'd have expected some
kind of discount or mark down.  It is however worth noting that the retail
box is comming with the heat sink and fan.  I don't know if that is included
in the pricing on AMD's website.
