Wait for AMD or go with the brand that seems to beat them even though they release theirs months to a year in advance....

Yea, sorry AMD, you let me down too many times. Going with my girl Ivy.

well look people no matter what you or me or some people say, out of the whole world population there will always be people still buying their products, which in turn let them earn money for it.
So long as they can sell stuff that's it.

I'm actually hoping for a miracle for them to whoop up some kick ass piledriver for win8 but well even if they are not competing if by some miracle they did something uber it would be awesome.
 


any CPU that has to wait for a new OS to come out in order to supposedly get the performance that was promised is a big EPIC FAIL!!!! like you're comment

man.... you know, why not release fusion cpu's with l3 cache and no integrated GPU? They are very impressive, and do better at same clocks compared to athlon...... until then, i'll stick with my pentium g850. I wish AMD would be competitive (their mobile chips are amazing though :)

I was a long time fan of AMD but since they've been the underdog (by far) 4 times over, I can't hang around anymore, on the off chance that an empty promise may actually materialize into real performance.

[citation][nom]billybobser[/nom]Ain't that the truth, only issue is though, at least the ford has price/performance. This has absolutely Zip.[/citation]

++ Not to mention that the Ford would be more reliable than the Ferrari! ... and less likely to catch on fire.

... and easier to park lol

Title is wrong... Oh well.
[citation][nom]DroKing[/nom]Im sick of you dipmorons who keep acting like Bulldozer was a major failure when it wasnt! Just because Sandy Bridge is 5 percent faster doesnt mean AMD is half as fast bc that would be 50 percent plus in performance by Sb but thats not the case! GET OVER IT. INTEL will always suck. AMD is #1.[/citation]
I'm an AMDer, in general... even selling some AMD systems last year. But when Bulldozer came out... I've gone intel... I've waited, and waited.. and was disappointed. First of all, Sandy Bridge is about 5~50% faster than anything AMD has. Ivy Bridge is about 10% faster than Sandy Bridge.

AMD requires almost twice the power over intel... more heat. By all means, Lliano is great in its class - but is becoming over-priced. AMD is NOT #1. They haven't since Core2 hit the market... and intel screwed AMD with illegal business practices, which did hurt AMD's R&D abilities.

AMD is not competing well against intel, much less themselves. When their "8 core" CPU has trouble surpassing their own 4-6core CPUs from a year ago... its a PROBLEM. AMD did the most retarded thing, they made their own version of the Pentium 4/netburst... and seeing so many people LEAVE AMD shows the screw up. We will, someday find out WHO came up with the crappy design.

The FX chips are marketed as 4/6/8 cores... but their design is Hyper-Threaded (netburst) so they are really nothing more than 2/3/4 core CPUS. They should be sold as such. The FX8150 should be a $150, at the most... as its still (STILL) slower than the i5-2400k which sells at about $140~150. The fx8000 series should be priced well below $200... not $260.

Someone said that the older X6 AMD960T was $200 cheaper than intel... ? HUH>
I can walk into a store in Dallas and pick up the i5-2500k and motherboard for $240. the 960T with a typical board is $200~220. Also the 960T is the first X6 from AMD pretty much... the i5-2400 will bitch slap it anyday... and still run much much cooler.

I like how people are saying "I WONT BUY ANOTHER AMD PRODUCT UNTIL THEY MAKE SOMETHING DECENT/AMD IS FAILING."

If you guys stop supporting AMD, they WILL fail because designing new chips isnt free and costs millions of dollars. AMD just doesnt have the kind of money right now and they are probaly making a majority of money off selling phenoms to the xbox 360.

Im not an AMD fanboy or such but im rather just making fair statements.

Just my 2 cents

AMD will not fail.
Plenty of AMD enthusiasts working on their PCs right now. Like me! :)
And we WILL upgrade.
 
Last week, that comment would have been based on vaporware, not a real product - unlike all of the pre-release marketing hype about Bulldozer.

However, there is some truth to your second statement.
