AMD reveals two brand new CPU architectures
so far it looks like this will be a good measure wether i need to upgrade to AM3
Play games, not platforms
Is it even worth considering AMD as an upgrade option if you looking to replace mobo, cpu etc? From everything I've seen the boys in blue still whip the green men when you compare apples with apples.
intel is good for getting bleeding edge pocket chomping performance
amd is good for bang for buck
Play games, not platforms
I have always been an AMD fan, and propably stay one! Like supporting the Sharks... Stick with them even in their dark days
And I agree with Tank, it is more worth the money compared to Intel.
Im still sitting with an OLD AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ and its due time for upgrade / NEW Machine
I think the boys in blue cost to much for me, and have to agree that AMD has more value for money than there opposition. With the same money you use to buy a top of the range CPU on intel you can get the AMD CPU and Motherboard and most likely the ram aswell and may have enough changes for something else.

That's exactly what I did now.Originally Posted by ZAP_Tech
Nice read demon. LOL
I think I've landed up alternative between blue and green, over the years, through chance. I tend to upgrade between 18-24 months apart. Which option I buy, is just bang-for-buck-arithmetic, at the time. Lately, gpu has a greater impact on gaming, than cpu. Get any 2.6GHz or faster cpu, pair it with a midrange gpu, and now someone tell me, what you can't play. Mostly likely anything will run well on medium. And if you want it to look nicer, get a high end gpu. No one is going to run a server and play Crysis 2 at the same time. 4GHz quad-cored HT CPU is a waste of cash, better spent on biltong.

That's exactly the thing. Having a decent CPU is important, but at this point in time, gamers need good GPUs to be able to get the best out of their games. With no particular reference to AMD or Intel, a good CPU coupled with a top-range GPU is good enough at this stage and saving money by not buying unnecessary hardware is what I'm going for.
Thank you!
Thats exactly why i replied[AT 10:17pm] after working all day!
Dare i say AMD isn't very popular in SA?
I go to Incredible corruption, Computer Mania and Chaos and they do not even stock AMD.
One Noob asked me what AMD is?
They love to bad mouth the beleaguered brand and i wondered about the impact these salesmen actually have on the layman customer.
People tend to stay away from AMD because they are just generally told Intel is better[Bleeding edge is at huge price!]
That is why i have to set the record straight whenever i get the chance.
If everybody knew ALL the facts about their product, would they still purchase it?
Probably not, and negative views from salespeople actually drive prospective clients away.
I love AMD and understand what their product is about.
I know that when it comes to AMD, if you spend that little extra on a MOBO, you are set for a few years.
It wont be cutting edge after those years, but you will still be in the game.
In SA where poverty is high,
10 or 15% of people actually own a PC and perhaps only 5% or less have top end, current hardware.
That puts everybody including latest generation AMD users right at the top
And on that level i have no problem respecting everybody for their choice of CPU.
Cant wait for Bulldozer!
Gaming since '89...
