Great discussion, guys, keep it going.
So I have to ask myself: How can I support this processor when it's comparable in price, loses in the benchmarks, and does not present a clear upgrade path like its competitor?
Fair enough. Without putting my finger on the exact data evidence and without taking a side on the "innovation" debate, I can though, say that I think AMD's lag behind Intel is not as severe as it was a year and 18 months ago. AMD has advanced from yawn to hmm, maybe something's happening here.
