Re: I still laugh when I see the price of the FX 62. This CPU is an extremely niche market product. Only the AMD fanatics would pay $827 for an FX 62 when they can get a higher performing E6700 for around $500.

Precisely. The number of 2.8GHz parts that AMD can make is still relatively small, so they price it this high because it limits the demand. The market of AMD diehards and high bin server users may be all the demand they can build to.
