how can you say that with a straight face? intel completely wipes the floor with amd on the high end, and they could easily clock their high end cpus quite a bit higher if necessary if amd were to suddenly get their act together and come out with something competitive. heck, unless BD is a HUGE improvement nvidia could just release a 4ghz westmere sku that would clobber it, never mind the ~ 20% improvement that SB will bring. You need to spend some more time in cpus/overclocking before throwing out obvious FUD like this. /rant
BTW, I'm posting this from my 1055t rig that I chose over an intel offering b/c it was for my office. in price/performance amd is fine, but in pure performance they aren't even close.
Please provide us with some benchmark links showing 1090t's apparent superiority.
Here's one for you from AT bench:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/146?vs=142 looks like in one game there is a 1% advantage for 1090t, and the power usage is about 1% lower in that one game. in about 37,417 other tests the 980x wins, in most cases by A LARGE MARGIN. Plus the Intel cpus generally OC much higher as well. ok, /rant #2
sorry for the OT guys.
