its high time amd brings performance to the table and unless your an intel or amd fanboy, the consumer should be happier because of it. competition is good for us consumers. I hope they keep the upward momentum for the sake of our wallets or purses because I can assure you intel's not going to just fall asleep in the face of stiffer competition. for me its not enough for intel to just barely beat out amds chips. if they wish to keep my business they will need to smash amds chips because if the only difference is marginal, well then I'm going to go for the cheaper one that dosent really compromise much on the performance end. I believe I likely speak for a lot of people when saying that.
