AMD OWNERS ONLY what cpu do you have

If I had a problem with AMD as a company, I wouldn't sport their flagship GPU (Although, I do dislike this whole GPU generation)
I've had AMD GPU's pretty much religiously, and continue to buy them for builds.

EDIT : Take Trinity, while the CPU performance is an unknown quantity, the GPU side is bound to be good, Intel are outdone budget wise in the laptop scene when it comes to their GPU solutions against AMD's, my brothers getting a laptop at Christmas, you can bet it'll be Trinity.

did you read the thread? no one is jumping on anyone for buying amd, its amd owners getting upset when someone has an objective view of bulldozer, and given the wealth of factual evidence around bulldozers performance and that this is a cpu forum, its hardly surprising, they keep putting fuel on the fire though...

I have read the thread because i am an AMD owner and i have posted my system as the OP asked. but it has turned into an Intel vs AMD war and i see posts about AMD's failure and Intel should be favoured. its all over this forum. simple fact is people buy what they want. if someone wants a Bulldozer im sure they have read reviews before they have decided and know an intel performs better but its what they want, that choice shhouldn't be a reason for someone on intel to question why they bought it over an intel chip etc. its all over the forum really.

No one has a problem with AMD

They have a problem with the Bulldozer

The performance it offers at its pricing point is matched or outclassed, Even by AMD themselves.

So to sum up

AMD = Good
Intel = Good
Phenom II = Good
I3/I5/I7 = Good
BD = Mediocre

The placebo affect is strong on Bulldozer owners though it seems. :p

thats totally different though mate, We are on the subject of CPU's and because their CPU's lack the power of intel they are branded rubbish, this has nothing to do with their GPU's at all. just saying.

Who's branded the Phenom II line up rubbish in this thread? They're an AMD CPU.
AMD is a company, ATI doesn't exist anymore, if I thought AMD was rubbish as a company, and had a prejudice against AMD, I wouldn't get their GPU's by default, same as the rest of us who "hate" AMD.

The fact is this is an AMD CPU thread, and all of a sudden intel has found its way here, all i was saying is this thread has lost its purpose. im not arguing with you i am just saying. i never mentioned the Phenom series when saying my previous posts i was talking about AMD CPU's as a whole, Intel owners always make it known which is the best.

You can't talk about AMD CPU's as a whole, as people haven't branded AMD CPU's rubbish, they've branded a series as disappointing/rubbish.

I'm an Intel owner, my first post was mentioning how a Thuban could best a 2500k in a heavily threaded situation, I further expanded that saying how it could leave a lynfield for dead.

Too many sweeping statements.

I'll agree the threads lost its purpose, anyone can see that :p

There was a discussion on the first page, with regards to benchmark results. It is the reason for the cross over to intel talk. It was genuine questions, and considering this is a discussion forum I dont see the problem. Then the OP screamed like a giant baby because itel was mentioned, even though it was done so with out any sort of bile or putdown. And then the spiral out of control began.

No one in this thread is pro intel, They are Pro performance. If BD was top dog I'm sure they would own one. I know I would. We are all capable of seeing that AMD had it right with the phenom II.

No one is blanket hating or loving either company. So your point is incorrect.

It is however a shame this thread has been spoilt. But if simple discussions arent allowed like what was initially happening on the first page. then its pointless anyhow.
 
lets just take everything in and laugh about it then eh guys? im just having a moment defending AMD even though im upgrading to intel at the end of the month lol.
 
right guys can we please get back on subject if not can a mod delete this thread because it has now been taken out of context

all i wanted to know who is still using AMD CPU and what there spec was not all this **** i have seen a quite a few who have and i am happy with the people who have added there posts aboiut what i asked but the rest is rubbish
 
AMD Sempron 2600+ and 2GB RAM, runs Windows XP fine and I'm a happy user, if you don't have one I'd recommend it! :)

This pretty much sums it up. Problem is some people keep insisting ridiculing BD=ridiculing AMD as a whole. I don't see why some people insisting people should stop saying how Mediocre BD is, when the fact is...it is? I don't see how people would or should stop commenting how bad BD is, unless some sort of update was release and suddenly make BD to at least perform better than Phenom II?

Again,whats with the Bulldozer recommendation aimed at me?? Read what I said again - I never recommended BD,I said it should be fine for most games with a slower graphics card. Even your Q6600 at that speed(I had one myself) was fine with a lot of games I was running with an HD5850 1GB overclocked by a huge amount.

Read again what the OP - he said it was fine for what he was using it for.

Did you bother to even ask him what he was running?? What games he is running??

Instead you went off on a tirade at him. If he said,looky here,I run SC2 and it runs uber,then maybe you would have a point.

What if he does not and never intends to?

Moreover,I know plenty of people playing MMOs myself on slower CPUs than a Core i5 2500K running at 4GHZ+ and they are hardcore players. They are some of the best in their clans.

Millions of WoW players worldwide don't run uber hardware. Nor does it make them bottom barrel players either - it seems at times blaming the tools is easier.

For instance,I do photography as a hobby. I use a colour accurate monitor which is calibrated. Hence I need/want a monitor with a decent IPS or VA panel due to colour workflow.

But,there are plenty of people who game and have dSLRs themselves who still buy TN panels(many don't try to calibrate them). Hey,they might even be better than me at photography!!:p

Do you see me going on tirades on them. No,I don't.

Edit!!

I can see what you are doing,so I care not to continue this.

Cat I didn't direct anything at you. As far as I am concerned, we were having a sensible general discussion. The Bulldozer recommendation was refered to the OP, on how on another topic he was encourging someone to go BD rather than talking him out of it.

My History
Intel 80286 - not a lot of choice in 1991
Intel 80486DX - the same in 1993
AMD 80486DX2 - My first AMD in about 1994, an upgrade to the Intel above.
Intel pentium P60 - back to Intel
Cyrix 586 - a mistake.
Intel pentium P120 - good for the time
AMD K6-2 - Intel pentium II near equivalent.
AMD Athlon XP Palomino
AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred 1700+ Several, my favorite o'clocker CPU of all time.
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
AMD 1055T
AMD 1090T - current

The 1990's was mostly Intel for me, the last decade mostly AMD

So its sort of been AMD most of the time, and probably because when AMD hit the sweet spot, boy it was sweet. Also they have pushed the other CPU manufacturers along from being too complacent at intervals.
