AMD is setting their sights on taking the pole position again with the Athlon 64 FX-53. AMD have launched another processor in the FX family that delivers an intimidating set of benchmarks. FX-53 is more expensive and it won't be immediately coming off the shelves into consumers hands in great quantities. Could the purpose of AMD's flagship processor be to establish a reputation as a performance king rather than as the underdog and cheaper alternative? Consumers do buy a reputation and a good reputation can positively influence sales of other products carrying the AMD brand name.



Zoooooooooom! Check it out here if you can catch it.

    What are you going to do with all those? You could make a bundle of cash selling them cheap. If you sold them for $500 each, they'd be gone within an hour, and you'll be sitting on a lot of dirty,dirty money.

    OR you could donate them to your fellow reviewers...

    Awww, I was hoping he was kidding!

    But I probably would have done the same. I can think of pretty evil things to do, but can never do them...
