I think they are attempting to pick a fight with Intel!  :-\

There is no fight with intel after looking at all the benchmarks the 6 core 1100t actually out benches the bulldozier in most test and intel is still way ahead. Disappointing really have been waiting for this chip and now im staying with my 1090t.

Total waste of time, this 20-year AMD fanboy is getting an i7-2600K ASAP and selling my AM3+ platform, never to return. And to think I gave them another chance after Phenom I...what a thoroughly dismal effort.

Now you are learning. It is no good being a fanboi of any company and much better to make a decision each time on which is the best purchase in performance for money terms.

AT,

I definitely feel your pain and I am so sorry it did not work out for you!

I also just put my AMD trumpet away...found a place furthest back in the closet and out of sight...

I read the ana tech article you posted.  Wow!  What a terrible embarrassment for AMD and a very deep disappointment for all AMD fans [myself included], who have been patiently waiting for the "mighty" bulldozer...

Well, there is always a brighter side to look upon...

1. I am still very, very happy with my AMD1055T rig that is now over one year old and running flawlessly!
2. I am very thankful for the excellent review you just posted, because reading it just saved me the pain of purchasing a downgrade rather than an upgrade!
3. I am now more convinced that purchasing and building the 2500k last Feb. was a great idea!
4. Anyone who owns a personal computer is actually very, very, well off [92% of people in the world do not own a computer, and 1.5 billion people have no access to electricity, 5 million people starve to death every year (13698 per day)]!

I am not shedding any tears over the great AMD let down.  I already let go of the pain.  Instead, I choose to be positive.  I am thankful for what I do have...and that takes most of the pain away...

Hey DM, how are you buddy?

Anyone have any nice suggestions for me for upgrades for the upcoming Black Friday?  It appears that 1100T might be a good deal!!!  Any suggestions on upgrading to nicer MB's, etc.?  or...should I just be happy with my present rigs as they are?

And how about the soon to be released Intel X79 chipset and Socket 2011?

Soar

The way I see it, my system is a recent build (this year). I chose the 1065t because of the lower TDP, and the fact I live in a hot country, so much so that the stock cooler was insufficient, even on this relatively economical 95 watt part! If I can get by on an old Core 2 at work, then the PII should last me at least 3 years. If AMD haven't pulled their socks up then, my next build will be Intel. If I can afford their prices. ;)

@soarwitheagles - You make some very good points in your last post which certainly puts things into perspective. I'm thinking about another system build and may go the Intel route with a i5 2500k CPU and I'm not to sure about the MB yet. But Bulldozer is here and it is what is and AMD fans have to move on until AMD produce something better.

T9,

I like the way you think!  I believe your 1090T is an awesome CPU.  I've been very happy with Intel's 2500K...no complaints at all!  And the prices for the 2500K sure seem good!  Hopefully there will be some killer deals in BF!

Enjoy!

Jannie,

Nice to hear from you friend!  So sorry I have not been able to post much lately.  That HAF X case sure is nice [I am hoping to find a good deal on the HAF X on BF].  You can't go wrong with Intel's 2600K...it is a wonderful CPU!

Have a wonderful day Jannie!

Hi guys! No worries there is plenty of room for you all over here in the Intel Lounge! We even have chips that work and fast! 2011 is looming and should be a powerhouse even if it isn't cheap. I'm not sure if I am upgrading yet because of the costs but either way I am still looking forward to see it arrive.

@soarwitheagles - I hope the prices come down, but that's a big hope, when the i7 2700k cpu arrives. Yes the 1090T is a good CPU but putting it into a 990 FXA MB just doesn't seem right  as they were design for the Bulldozer.

That's some salmon in your profile picture, was it taken a fly or a plug?

This is a computer related forum so I better stop asking questions about fishing!!!! :)
