Here I go,
To be honest people now a days all go for Intel's New i7 for Gaming because its Flashy and Brand New. When i can see no difference in gaming between the i7 and AMD's Phenom 955 both overclocked to 4.00ghz and i cannot see a spec of difference aswell as every upgrade intel do they bring out a different socket and such, but buy a AMD AM3 and your set for a good 3-4 years

As well as your average 955 will retail at about £120 but an i7 nearing £200...

can please someone enlighten me on your views and what you think ...

Thanks

Me being AMD/ATI fanboy my brother brought this on being in love with Nvidia/Intel

So what makes an i7 so good at video editing and encoding ?

and by how much is it better than the 955/965?????

Thanks

sounds cool... im just trying to choose because i have been amd for ages just going to upgrade my PC im bored of my Athlon 2400+ and my radeon 9200 pro.

Cant play Games anymore :P

Either processor and a 5770 and i will see a phenomenal improvement
 
Thanks all I do (pc wise) is gaming so ill keep with AMD/ATi

As i think Ati are doing pretty well atm, got 1up on Nvidia, as i heard there 4 Series isnt very price/performance.

@ Ordokai

For me Nvidia are not very good atm you never know after i buy my pc a range of "decent mid range nvidia might come up" but right now i just cant be bothered to wait when the 5 series is already there and do the job wonderfully , i just want to be able to play Diablo 3 and SC 2 and my Athlon cant take it, It can barely Run source

Well tbh i dont care about wiether i can encode data faster i just want to be able to get a 955 @ 4Ghz with 4GB 1600 and a XFX 5770 and be able to run All Games out now except maybe GTA4 and Crysis on Super High at 1920x1080 on my viewsonic 22"
 
Mine :

AMD Athlon 2400+ @ 2.01Ghz
768 DDR 400 Ram
9200 Pro


All I can say is atleast you can launch Most wanted ... mine just says error has to close on every new game :P
 
Well my PSU atm is a trust 480W upgrading to OcZ 500w so wont really be much of a difference in terms of power usage seen as my trust will pull about 550w from the wall anyway or something like that
 
Wow, Thanks for a well explained answer... much appreciated but my answer stays the same as i7's are for encoding and editing and the Phenom 955 is better for gaming,

but thank you for for answer enlightening me on this subject :D
