Dash, I have 5 computers at home, all varying degrees of ePeen-ness. Between my wifes, three sons, and my Skynet Killer capable, I believe I have enough experience with the different hardware to say, "stick with Intel".Originally Posted by Kedash00
Are you likely to even notice a difference at that level? perhaps not. Will you feel more confident with the Intel vs second guessing your AMD purchase based upon the Benchmark reviews? Probably. Intel has a superb track record. Not saying AMD doesnt. Ive personally seen AMD chips last longer than Intel, but then again they dont put out the same power, so its almost like saying, "I never used 4th gear in my car, hence it never fails, so its better"... eeeaanntt False.
Ive replaced my sons AMD CPU once, and another sons AMD was DOA after purchase, so I swapped it out for a different mobo and cpu combo and went Intel. Skynet is Intel. Its overclocked and not seen one issue.
^ Epic Win. Seriously. Best reply. Hard to argue Fact vs Fiction.

I think this quote is "dissectable" in so many ways. But I "think" the point this is trying to make is clear. If your willing to sacrifice some performance for >$100, or cant wait another pay period to afford a better product. AMD is just fine. Dont all cars get you from A to B? Why do people buy nice ones? loyalty? cost? dependability? low maintenance? who knows.
Side note: Arent all "Fan boy" comments hypocritical in themselves? Its shameful really.
