Another thing...
As and enthusiast and overclocker, I really enjoy playing with AMDs Phenom and FX series way more than Intels Bloomfield and Ivy Bridge. Overclocking Intel's offerings is a very sterile process which allows a user to overclock everything very easily. I understand someone that is a novice to overclocking liking this approach but I was done pushing the 3570k in less than hour. Boost multiplier, adjust vcore, select XMP for memory and done...
On the AMD side, things aren't as clear cut and there are more factors which can impact performance. I still play with my FX CPU from time to time a good 6 months after purchase, in trying to find that sweetspot. When I have some time I will try and disable 4 cores on the FX 8120, making it a quadcore which apparently reduces L2 latency as well as allows for up to 5.5 ghz overclocks. Let's see if it can beat intel on single threaded performance at max overclocks...
So to sum up my point...if you are a true enthusiast, I really believe that AMD platform offers a better tinkering experience.
