What?
I don't disagree, It doesn't mean I am not gonna end up buying a FX8170 as soon as it becomes available.
Its got nothing to do with benchmarks for me, I already own 4 maxed out Sandy Bridge rigs, If I wanna benchmark I'll use those. I am only buying it for one reason and one reason alone, to pop into my Asus Crosshair V and use it for gaming.
Eat - Sleep - Overclock - Repeat
"NTel" have definitely whipped AMD on this one. Give us clockspeed!!!!!!

give the architecture a chance to mature and develop further before writing it off entirely
i'm not saying it'll beat intel but who knows, might give em a go.
Play games, not platforms
It does. But Bulldozer itself is rubbish. Maybe piledriver wi be a little better with thr aid of not using Global foundries anymore.
