There are professionals (engineers, graphics people, etc.) for whom the difference between a $1000 CPU and a $500 CPU is more than $500 in productivity/year.

So it makes perfect sense for some people to have those CPUs.

It's not all about being the baddest gamer.

Of course, that's what I think this is all about. The little kid who whine about high prices was really whining that it's not fair he only has a 7600GT and 20" LCD while some other gamers have 2x8800GT and 30". That's life, kid. I heard there are villages in Africa where kids don't even have 6150 graphics.

Right, I agree with that, but those engineers and graphic designers aren't a respectable segment of the market. All the money is made in the mainstream segment, where Joe Consumer says, "Oh, I hear Intel has the fastest desktop processor in the world. This Core2Duo must be faster than (insert random CPU name here)."
