Not if Intel gets into the mobile processor market. I smell worse days ahead for ARM.

Not looking bright for the future and when you compare Intel's with AMD's budget it's not likely to get better any time soon. That's not even including Intel's business practices. Exactly my thoughts. The *acs have similar beliefs. I've had both, a dual core intel, a Q6600, and now a Phenom II 955, which I got before sandy bridge was released. The processor is fine for me, didn't cost that much in comparison to i5/i7, and I thought "oh, I'll be supporting bulldozer blahblahblah" Well, this sucks :/ With bulldozer doing so poorly we're getting closer to a true monopoly in processors. | ||

I guess I will be stickin with SouthBridge for next 2-3 years then :| If your thinking of upgrading soon then obviously the i7 2600k and the i5 2500k (depending on your budget) are the way to go, the pricing is really really reasonable too. I was surprised how well the i7 2600k performed when compared to the 990x looking at the difference in prices. Im still running a core 2 quad 6800 (old i know) and i will be upgrading to a 2600k in a few weeks, in terms of price and performance its the best your gonna get. Also im probably gonna get a HD 6950 unless someone convinces me otherwise, looking at the benchmarks (and for the price) it seems to be the best option for my price range. Im running a gtx 260 (core 216) and its starting to feel outdated (even though most things still run max, no dx 11 is starting to suck) | ||

Btw this video kind of disgusts me: It's just so stupidly done and so biased. | ||

Either way, its quite dissapointing, specially to those people who waited for the Bulldozer to come out instead of buying the phenom 2 x6, they could have bought and been using the Ph2 x6 for like a year now. The server processors on BD architecture should be excellent for servers. But then, there's a reason people don't complain about Xeon underperforming in consumer applications. Namely: It doesn't get marketed for them. | ||

Hmm so the i7 2700k gets released in around 12 days, worth waiting for? the price difference looks to be extremely minimal (like 20-30 dollars maybe less) doesnt seem like there is too much of a difference though a slightly better clock speed and turbo boost is what i notice from the chart on wiki. Edit: actually waiting another 2 weeks on top of that for the 3820 might be nice, considering that i dont know how much overclocking i would actually do (3820 isnt unlocked) having pcie 3.0 a bigger cache (10mb) and support for 1600 ddr3 might be nice. Also it will be using the new socket 2011 so upgrading from that eventually would be alot more feasable not to mention its slightly cheaper, i guess the question is am i going to overclock or not. Ive bought computers/ processors / motherboards with the intention of overclocking before and not gone through with it (or have) so i guess thats sort of up in the air for me >< | ||

Lol I'm not sure what makes you think a LGA 2011 i7 will be less expensive than a LGA1155 or Bulldozer .... Core i7 3820 is on the enthusiast LGA2011 socket that is replacing the existing enthusiast LGA1366. It's going to be priced the same as the core i7 2600k or slightly higher and LGA2011 motherboards will be much more expensive than LGA1155 motherboards considering all the crap you get with X79. To get an enthusiast platform and not overclock is a gigantic waste of money. | ||

Some of the prices have gone down considerably. You're saving over $100 on RAM alone. And very few consumers have a real use for it besides tinkering and benching for shits n gigs. | ||

From my experience and friends to be honest ATI usually fail and fuck up more often than nvidias. From what I've seen from AMD for the last X years they have been making pretty crappy stuff when compared to similar priced intel counterparts. That doesn't mean I am totally biased fanboy though. They've just yet to impress. | ||

Well I think they incorrectly projected the market of CPUs when they started designing it all that time ago (4 years I think). I think they thought parallelism would be the way to go because us Computer Scientists would write software to take advantage of that for everything. Well 4 years later, Computer Scientists still don't quite know how best to do that in every application and processing power needs have leveled out somewhat so there's really not that much reason to need that much parallelism in every day stuff... | ||
