Intel Core Family

[HatMan]

Hello,

I have been watching forums and the news etc with regards Intel CPU's. I am of the opinion that all Intel Core Family CPU's are now scrap and yet I hear of folk still buying them and even Intel releasing new ones like the 8086. Is that not compromised as well? I am bewildered as to why anyone, especially with the expertise on here would buy into faulty goods. I have been reading some of the hacking news and security experts are readying themselves for the attack of doom. Does this not concern anyone?

Oh and I am not an AMD fanboy. Quite the opposite. I want a new rig but not until Intel have corrected the issues.

Some interesting feedback. Personally speaking, if I was to buy into an Intel CPU that has anything above a 5% drop in performance after the so called fixes, then I have spent unwisely. I am not against AMD and in fact I am glad they have puilled back some share. Maybe when Intel does pull their finger out AMD will have learned that they can do it and try harder again. Healthy competition is generally a good thing. You wouldn't buy an AMG Mercedes and put remoulds on it. I am of the opinion that with Intel's might and skills, a new line of correctly working CPU's could already be launching, instead of wasting time bringing out the 8086 for example and then asking you to patch it.
