The AMD FX 8300 is also for sale at $115, and the AMD FX 8320 can be had for $119. > and for extra $35 you can get E5 1620 It sells for $308 at newegg. Nearly 3 times the price you pointed out. Intel's recommended price for the Intel Xeon e 1620 is $294.00. http://ark.intel.com/products/64621/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-1620-10M-Cache-3_60-GHz-0_0-GTs-Intel-QPI http://ark.intel.com/products/64621/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-...
