It's Intel. That's why it's expensive. You're paying for a name and their commercials you see every night. Ever wordered why AMD is cheaper? They don't use useless advertising, they don't offer kickbacks to their dealers, and they're generally a longer lasting product which in turn, passes off the savings to you.
Yes AMD could sport a thousand dollar CPU but they only do that for their servers, not a home user level CPU that will be outdated in 6 months and half the price.
