If she turns this thing around, I'm posting her picture over my AMD rig...

I see I got -1 above -- lets face it if your like me and had am3+ when they first came out and upgraded to the top of that line after that amd has no offerings in that platform , so why would I spend my good money of a thing of the past today???

when I do a new build I want something that's the latest and up to the day tec. not the same thing I been running for years .. that's just silly, so I felt forced to go intel

now if amd were to pull a rabbet out of there hat and come out with a fresh new chipset -chip- platform that's not been played out for several years and match intel offerings then I may go back to them, but as far as now I just don't see that.

Read was grooming Dr. Su to take over already.

AMD is also not floundering, they are recovering well. Interestingly enough, the FX8350 is better than the 4930K for pushing SLI @ 4K resolutions:

that's interesting in a way but this 4k thing all I see is amd winning out and it seemed that the amd vid cards handle 4k better then NVidia

what I would of liked to see in that review would of been a 290x in that mix then see where at 4k amd stands above the rest .. so I wount dispute amd and there 4k performance

also I yet to understand intel keeping things stuck at 8x8 pci-e unless you get plx

the reason I left amd was there just old hat done been there and donre that with AM3+ and just could not see spending on something that's old and dated . they were to come out with the 1090fx chipset and ju7st droped it and nothing has changed since the first release of AM3+ -- bulldozer to piledriver , wow

WIll not help their downfall........ AMD is just too far behind Intel and Nvidia, they have lost most of their market share......

 

[junkeymonkey]

well like I said -- I left amd due to I all ready did am3+ don't care noithing about there apu chips so intel was my only path now if I were to be just coming off lets say am2 build I would not be bad with a am3+ cause it would be a step up from that amd would be fine ,but having AM3+ from day one with uo to the 8320 it just seemed silly to buy that past today .. I want hot new not same old same old

That didn't last long.

"Dr" Lisa Su. I sense strong insecurities with this one. Poor, poor AMD. I hope they don't bring ATI down with them.

thing is if amd can top or equal intel in professing power at watts with there lets face it better on chip gpu then they will have something .

so if they come out with a better then am3+ chip apu and a fresh chipset for it that could be a golden egg for them

She has a PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT.

That is the proper way to call someone who is a Doctorate holder in their field.

is that better then a degree from University of Phoenix ??? [lol]

I do really hope AMD will recover fast or [...] rest in peace.
