content: So much this. Bulldozer benchmarked well and was garbage. The last round of video cards out of AMD benchmarked okay and sucked power at a rate so far out of spec it toasted motherboards. I want to believe, I truly do, but I'm holding my breath until they're out. Thunderbird was a great era in CPUs. AMD had the upper hand, made some money, handed Intel some comeuppance, and put a huge dent in the price of a CPU since Intel lost their brand premium pricing. Since then, prices have been continuing to creep up again....I'd love to see them get knocked down again.
