Chose AMD because, Price/Performance, that is the only reason and the only reason I stick around with the company.
Same reason why I chose the 3930K over the 3960X/3970X, also the same reason I'm not upgrading to Ivy Bridge-E, almost $700 for a couple of percentage points? No thanks, I can overclock that difference.
Money is better in my pocket than some overseas company! :P
