I really hope this is the reason why AMD hasn't released a new desktop FX processor in quite a while (hopefully building a new architecture behind the scenes with strong single threaded performance, etc). If that's the case I'd expect them to wait a bit for the prices to come down, while further improving their new architecture (if there is any). Just hope they don't drop out of the CPU/APU market.
The only good thing about the APUs are their GPU and HSA (that doesn't seem to be going anywhere).
