After reading this I've changed my mind. Intel can go $*(@ themselves.

screw intel, screw nehalem, nahalem will be a flop simply because statistics say as such... it will be P4 all over again.

yep, i figured as much, plus if you stick with intel you end up having to upgrade you whole rig every time a new cpu comes out, they cant just stick to one friggin socket, and now your gonna have to pay 1k for the cpu that will actually let you tune it? come on, im surpised intel and microsoft havent merged yet

No,Intel is going to put clock gen in the Motherboard and in the Cpu so no pushing the FSB up is what I have been hearing.So no over clocking unless you spend a TON of cash on one of the X edtions.I have always had Amd products this is my first and last Intel processor.I am wating on Amd bulldozer to come out and now I have more faith in them now will this later move with the Ati 4800 cards and I dont think Amd would ever turn there back on Overclockers because we were the ones that stuck with them.Intel if they really do this they will regret it I have a feeling.

I think I'll just stay with my current platform, hell nothing out there uses my system to the max except ofcourse crysis...lol but yet all my 4 cores are not used. Remind me again what is the whole point of upgrading to Nehalem ???

Screw Nehalem. Intel is becoming greedy.

Well, as a computer technician at a computer store, I can say that we get a lot less returns from AMD products than Intel. For performance, it is true that Intel is king right now. But there are still a wad of really good AMD deals out there. When I try to sell a computer to someone, I always suggest an AMD unless the customer actually asks for it. It's my way of helping AMD right now.
