Simple CPU Question .... I Think :(

[AtenRa]

AtenRa, you also have 2 systems to compare, whats your opinion about the differences between the i7 and FX? I have to say after having both systems for months now.................I notice the differences are tiny(and I don't mean running benches). I think the FX is absolutely a very, very nice CPU. The i7 is also awsome but for people to make so much fuss as to say Intel is better than AMD..................only in power draw. I find the discussions what to buy a bit over the top. Intel is only better in dedicated software applications and powerdraw but this latter is a bit of a farce because when you're just surfing the difference is tiny.

The Core i7 3770K is better across the board, the thing is that it cost 50%+ more than the FX8350 for the majority of people across the world (the lucky few have the microcenter offer that is unbeatable).

As i have said so many times there are games that favor the Intel CPUs, but there are newer games that the FX line is extreamly compatitive (BF3, Crysis 3 etc)

Up to $200 mark the AMD APUs and CPUs are very compative against the Intel counterparts in performance/price.

2is... Bad news for you and good news for me !

AMD stocks rose for over 2% while Intel's dropped for 0.5%, guess that caused the rise of AMD's stocks suddenly for over 2%? You don't know? CPU's, GPU's and APU's in next generation of console's, finally some good news for CPU market and customers.

Knock off the trolling and thread crapping.
This has nothing to do with this thread.

I don't own stock in either though Apples steady decline since October has been painful but its tempered by googles consistancy. I do appreciate the concern though.
