AMD......where you @?

Don't get me wrong. I like AMD and I almost built a setup. And the thing is that I know they have always had best bang for the buck. But with the "i" series from Intel on both sockets 1156 and 1366, I feel it's worth spending the extra money. They're stable, draw less power thus creating less heat, and have more headroom for OC'ing. I know they have something coming out, but like Nvidia's next GPU's, it's a little too late. And by the time they propose their solution, Intel will have there 6-cores by then and eventually followed by 8-cores. I think Intel has it this year right off the bat.

there is only one feature that make intel better !not 69 !one!

DIRECT CACHE ACCESS!

all the other touted feature are powder to the eye since they are all unusable in reall life

an intel or an amd at the other end of the network will go same speed

only direct cache access(intel)give intell a fairly big lead(unless amd got their version and i dont know how they call it!

AMD is waiting for 2012/11, so they really aren't in it to win it in 2010/11.  However, they will still have the price verse performance cap inbetween now and then.  Intel's are just to expensive.  You can get the best AMD processor for $170.  While the competing Intel of similar performance is over $200

2010 and 2011 do have some interesting releases, but nothing to hold your breath for.  There is the 6 core Phenom IIs coming out at around the same time as the 6 core Intels, and the 12 core Phenom IIs coming out at around the same time as the 8 core Intels.

Late 2010 early 2011 they are releasing their graphics on CPU chip, the APU.  The graphics side should decimate the Intel solutions graphics side.  Its performance is factor to too many variables to see if it can compete.  It has a new instruction set but doesn't have a shared L3 cache.  I would say its performance comes down to if it uses a new socket and the memory standard it uses.

2012 is where it will get interesting.  AMD has been getting help from IBM.  IBM as we know controls the PC industry.  Thats when Fusion architecture is released with Bulldozer and Bobcat.  Both are low watt solutions done on a 22nm process, and have good graphics solutions with a more advanced instruction set.  They also have 128-bit and 256-bit standards.

AMD is already playing with crystal technology. Intel not so much.
