Will be looking to build a new PC in around 6 months time, is AMD bringing any new CPU's out soon ? have not heard much about steamroller. Is it even going to be released ? or what about intel, anything good with them coming out soon ?

AMD's next high end CPU's are not due until late 2016 which is an entirely new architecture called Zen which will be more in line with Intels CPU's.
Intel are releasing Broadwell a shrink of Haswell at some point in the next couple of months apparently, but that doesn't look so hot.
Skylake Intels new architecture should be released later this year and that is sounding good but nothing solid on it.

If your current PC is what you're looking at upgrading, then you're not looking at AMD CPU's.
Intel are releasing Broadwell, but that's not going to set the world on fire in CPU performance over Haswell.

I am yes, though i think i will hold off for now till more info about Zen comes out.
Thanks for the info guys.

With a clocked i5 3570K, I'd certainly consider waiting till Zen.
I'm hopeful for it, but it has to blow my socks firmly off.

AMD are not releasing any new chips for at least a year.
Even then, their next CPU line, Zen, may be as pathetic as their previous one, Bulldozer. We simply won't know until we see the benchmarks.
AMD's shrinking R&D budget doesn't exactly inspire confidence that their next architecture will be any better than their previous one.

I don't see the 2003 - 2007 years of AMD ever returning.

Wait till Skylake to upgrade.
AMD are caught between a rock and a hard place unfortunately. Fighting Intel on one end and Nvidia on the other, both huge companies with huge budgets. All this can only be bad news for us consumers.

I yearn for it though!!!
I miss AMD's super era but intel hit the nail on the head calling its architecture Nehalem - it wasn't just a name without merit like 'Dragon' and 'Spider'
I'm always interested in what AMD are doing and hope something brings them some much needed good fortunes... if Samsung buys them from the rumour mill then its all over

Your notice that both these companies are specialists in their field.
Ie. Nvidia's main product is GPUs and Intel's CPUs. Where as AMD are trying to do both.
Already done that just never updated my sig. I have a 270
Was just about to post an article i came acroos detailing an AMD APU with 16 cores all supporting HT and also being powered by greenland for the gpu part. Well i was, until i noticed the article was from fudzilla 
.. Looked interesting though from a fairytale perspective. be right back gotta find my salt..

For those dissing on AMD, it looks very promising.
