I was thinking about upgrading my mobo, possibly my CPU too but just decided I'm better off waiting until next year to see if Steamroller is any good.
I like AMD as a company, they used to provide great value for money and didn't rip off their customers by changing socket on their new CPU's all the time.
My problem is, after the poor performance of the bulldozers (in terms of gaming), do you think Steamroller will put AMD back on track for gamers looking for a competitively priced CPU.
If Steamroller isn't impressive I'm going to switch over to Intel, not that I like their ruthless marketing strategy but I won't have much choice.
Thoughts?
PS. I currently own a 965 3.4Ghz Phenom II (really love this CPU) and from what I can make out none of the bulldozer's will improve my gaming performance so it doesn't seem worth switching to one of them for me.
