AMD is about to launch a new, supposedly revolutionary line of CPUs. Not exactly the right time to buy one of the current models.

They are about to launch that line for what, a year now? Honestly, as much as I hope they will crush all the Intel fanboys with it (although realistically I only hope they will manage to halve their disadvantage finally), I will only believe it is released when I see one in real life in front of me, working.

I know. Of course I have no elements to say Zen will be groundbreaking or even reasonably good. Still, also considering the relative weakness of AMD's current lineup, I would certainly not buy one of their expensive CPUs right now (or an Intel one for that matter). Wait and see is all I'm saying. And sure, Intel needs competition!

With Zen coming out in just a few months, there is no way I'd buy an AMD cpu unless it was to upgrade an older rig without replacing the motherboard.

Hmm, wonder if I can pick up a code for cheap like this :3.

This is an awful promotion for the consumer.
Now is the wrong time to buy an FX processor. Hell, even if you need to do a fresh build/upgrade right now, AMD is not the way to go.
If you can wait, competitive AMD products are only months away and Skylake is still there.

Yeah, I was all AMD in every build I did for myself and for others, but I needed to get up from under my Phenom II X2 555 last fall/winter and Skylake was just too much better than FX, and I couldn't wait for Zen.
