Agreed but don't you find your self smiling at the politics and timing?

I guess.
AMD's missed a trick with matching it with Zen.

But it's for Christmas, and AMD don't have any CPU's to push a 480

I have no idea how anyone can even contemplate buying mainstream i5K's at the moment in the UK. OCUK's asking price is loltastic, and the i7 price just makes me weep.

They are still normal price at other major uk retailers.. can't understand why ocuk hiked the price on the i5 k.

They're still ~220.
That'd make me grimace.

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...

Fingers crossed for AMD - I am not holding my breath but I really hope they are going to be back competing for the middle ground at the very least.

here we go!

loving the fact that the AMD page stream is 15 seconds or so behind the twitch stream, I really would have thought it would be the other way around.

AMD page video quality looks better to me though. Not that it really matters.

The itinerary neutered my hype.

She's right, AMD do push the envelope on power (usage)
