Re: AMD Processors?
OEM vs Retail prices - it's really where, when and how much the supplier bought the component from that counts. Yes, rule of thumb is that OEM is cheaper cause you don't have the 3rd party retail (middle man) costs like the box and software/games etc.. (depending on the component).

One trade supplier maybe selling the component at one price and another at another.... the retail supplier then makes decisions on where he/she buys the job lot from...they may get discounts at one supplier but less or none at another...etc..

It's or dependant on supply too, if there's not much to go around [the supplier trade] then that bumps the price up...
