Where do CPU companies get these numbers for their press releases? The "Sugegsted retail" price for enormous bulk orders are ALWAYS soo much higher than what the end user can buy one for just a few weeks after the press release! At least this is true for X86 processors. If AMD announces a new CPU with a suggested retail of $380 in bulk of 10k chips, I can probably buy one 2 weeks later for $220.
