Before fanboys get ahold of this,
I'm looking for reasons outside of brand preference and based on fact.
AMD FX-8120/50 vs. Intel I5 2500k
Besides looking at benchmark software, or price, (I've seen i5 destroy the 8150 in almost everything except benchmarks below) Is there any reason to buy an AMD CPU still? When software becomes better threaded and OS's being to fully utilize more cores, will the 8150 ever truly surpass the i5?
