hmmm.

I used to only buy AMD. Im not exactly sure where they are up to now (probably about 8 years if not more since I touched them)

but i definately remember the bulldozer hype and subsequent flop. lies about the number of cores and other things that just made me say "my computing is to important to my life to play that game".

I was also privy over the years to some test builds of machines including head to head amd vs intel. it is truly painful to say that not only were they often more expensive (new) for the performance, they were also horribly unreliable, pausing, and doing all sorts of stuff that made us sad.

hope thats changed, but saying there is any similarity between the current in use intel vs amd range is very far from the mark.
