AMD, still chasing the clock speed dream. I somehow doubt this will come close to the single threaded performance of a similarly priced Intel chip. There is literally no point in AMD competing in the high end of CPUs, Intel just have way too many advantages.

APUs however...


Only advantage AMD have is price(not present here with this cpu), multithreaded performance and Steamroller which should yield 15-20% performance improvements while still using am3+ socket. People who invested in an am3+ mobo 3 years ago will certanly get their moneys worth.
