I would have thought that the overwhelming majority of recent cpu buyers would have gone Intel, given the new tech.
I am not, as I plan to support AMD. Seeing as so many have jumped ship I really would have thught that there would be some price incentive to get/stay AMD...
As it is they still seem expensive....anyone know what gives?
 
Regardless of the "whats next" and "whos fastest now" arguements, its clear that from a sales point of view AMD are getting a spanking on CPU sales.

My point is where is the pricing incentive to get an AMD ( even if its a bit slower than an Intel)?

It seems like staggering ignorance to me.

At these rates they must be selling next to no AMD chips.
 
Wow, you guys are either in one camp or the other arent you..
I wasnt attacking AMD, in fact if it wasnt for AMD then I woudnt have got a PC all those years ago as Intel where way too expensive. Way I see it AMD have looked after ( unwittingly or on purpose) the gaming community, and I for one am loyal. I refuse to get a Intel, not because I hate Intel or anything so purile, but because I believe we should support what we like.
The other factor is that in order to get the Intels to "be quicker" than AMDs you need to overclock. Im a games developer and stability is absoloutley paramount, I have lost count of the times I needed to rebuild my machine and lost data due to my attempts at overclocking. So I wont be doing any of that with any chip I get.
I just see the ads for Dell PCs (Core 2 due inside) on tv (not a cheap medium) and all the press the Intels have had on the web and cant help but suppose AMD are suffering a hit in cpu sales. I am not saying that they arent selling any, but what I am saying is that I think the "pro" Intel model as garnered some momentum in the right circles and AMD cant help but feel that. And my expected response was to compete, ie lower prices for the chips that are out there, therefore keeping a lot of their users who have immediatley jumped ship when they heared Intel where quicker.
As it is they are as much as or more for what is , as far as a lot of users say, less.
