High end doesn't matter anymore? I'm guessing you're not much of an enthusiast or a gamer. If all you want to do is watch hd movies on your pc, then no you don't need a high end system, but for a gaming enthusiast having the most powerful hardware is essential.Guest said:
Who cares about bulldozer. High end doesn't matter anymore. Who cares if get few more fps in fhd with amd cpu. APU is the future and this is where amd shows good results.
Console ports are fully playable at mainstream hardware, oh and cpu matters a LOT less these days.Wendig0 said:High end doesn't matter anymore?

Actually you're only about 99% wrong. APU will invariably be a high volume, low margin dogfight between AMD, Intel and ARM. High margins are for GPU and server grade CPU. Bulldozer was developed primarily as a server part (Interlagos), and judging by the fact that AMD are now ditching their much touted VLIW GPU architecture in favour of scalar architecture* in an effort to regain marketshare in GPGPU it would seem the AMD are intent on the high margin/high selling point of enterprise SKU's.Who cares about bulldozer.

It depends what you are doing: I spend a lot of time compiling maps for source games, something that required full CPU workload on all of my six (1090T) cores. The money I would have had to spend to get an equivalent hex-core chip from Intel to match the same speed would be more than four times as much (hyper-threading is not going to help in such a situation).Guest said:
Kid take a chill pill. AMD is slower, but not like thousand times slower so your gaming argument is invalid. AMD bought ati to compete with nvidia not intel's igp u dumb kid and they are doing pretty well. Your statement "AMD is mixing old shiit (CPU) with new shiit (GPU on-die)" just shows u are freaking fanboy, thats all. All the money is in the affordable mainstream and mobile stuff and this is where amd is aiming.
It's an open call.Did they try Craigslist?
They know that AMD is falling behind. There's no reason to buy an AMD cpu anymore because intels next gen Core i series beats them out in pretty much every segment.ddg4005 said:
This isn't good. Why would four candidates turn down the offer? Maybe they know something we don't know.
