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.

Not sure how much of an improvement that'll be with the new Haswell chips out. Even the old Sandy Bridge CPUs outperform the majority of AMDs AM3+ chips.
Personally I think AMD should just forget about the performance end of the X86 market. Concentrate on APUs where they can leverage their GPU tech for more balanced hardware.
