It's funny how many people make this comment about AMD having nothing to challenge Intel. Tell me what games you have problems running with any quad core? As for OC'ing, I had my 1090T running at 4.4GHZ. With a die shrink, the odds of it hitting 5GHZ are looking pretty darn good. People are always so quick to assume anything, either way, and I can understand how anxious people are, but, you can build a great gaming rig, AMD OR Intel, for little money compared to how much they used to be.
The new developments in CPU architecture are nice, but, we still need programmers to start to take advantage of these new toys before they start to become worth the money. If this bulldozer can even make a show against the 990x and competes with the SB, that's a good jump for AMD, but, I still want to know how real world performance is gonna benefit from any of this. I've seen low gains in actual performance in non-benchmarking. Am I still gonna get one? Probably. I love to be able to brag about my system, but, I just don't see why people want to try to dis AMD for "not keeping up" when there's so little (other than benchmarks) that really take advantage of things.
