Probably the real price that such a processor should have. But we've gone so long without real competition in the PC chip market, we can't even tell anymore when Intel is ripping us off.
Heck, even 99% of the "tech media" didn't notice (or didn't care to make a big deal out of it) when Intel swapped Core-based Celerons and Pentiums for significantly weaker, but much more profitable to build, Atoms. The consumers never stood a chance against Intel's progressive rip-off.
Let's see how the market settles in 2-3 years, after the Zen architecture is fleshed out across device lines, and after Qualcomm commences its entrance in the notebook market with 50%-100% of "Core i7" performance (depending on which Core i7 [1]).
