For a while there AMD was doing pretty well in the gamer market, then Intel's Core 2 Duo seemed to come out and set the new standard of price/performance. What is in the guts of your machine these days?

AMD doing chip fab is probably a good way to make some side dollars by producing product for other companies - it also means they're not just shoving resources into smaller processes for only their own products.
Currently my systems are a Athlon 3800-X2, a Core 1 iMac and a Core 2 MacBook Pro. I was planning to buy a new Core 2 Quad system for Spore, how incredibly glad am I that I didn't do that? :)

Don't you know about the bird
Well everybody knows that the bird is the word
also
i thought trog was going to say AMD was splitting into two companies - one for CPU's, one for Video Cards, and they're gonna rename the latter ATI. lulz.
Also, didn't AMD start life as a chipmaker for other companies? (esp intel?)

Should do well against the latest Xeons...
I guess it all depends on what these new i7's are like.

I've always used Intel but I thought I'd be crazy and give AMD a whirl this time. As I really just do basic PC stuff I don't think it makes any difference.
Split into 2 company's? So does that mean it will be a Dual Core company?

Going to do a cheapy upgrade soon to an AMD 6000+, that way I don't have to buy a new mobo and stuff.
After that though, who knows.

Mac mini has Intel Core 2 2.0GHz (not sure what model).
I had Athlon up until the E8400 and Core 2 ownd it.
Posted 02:24pm 08/10/08
Core2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz
Love it.
Posted 02:54pm 08/10/08
Which I stopped using when I got a 1.5GHz G4 powerbook (it was faster - and ran OS X obviously)
Now I'm on a MacBook Pro with a 2.33GHz Core2 Duo
I may spend a few hundred $$ on a gaming PC if some awesome 'next-gen' games come out... Like Diablo 3. Actually, D3 will be native os x too... so it may be too tempting to just get a new macbook :P We'll see I guess. For now, all good. Intel really have smashed AMD with their Core2s - they don't even seem to be an option.
