I appreciate the comment above, but I do want to state that I enjoy debating. So yeah if the topic is repetitive, its most likely cause of that... :)
One final statement I want to make is that Intel only pulled ahead of AMD in terms of gaming performance with Sandy Bridge. With the old i7s, they were trading blows with cheaper Phenoms II X4s and getting beaten by the similarly priced Phenom X6 cpus. Sure they had their 1000 dollar i7 980X, but for gaming the price is a non starter. But after Sandy Bridge it was obviously better to go with Intel for high end...
I personally believe that if intel weren't such stingy fucks they could wipe the floor with AMD. They just don't want to set the bar too high but would rather milk every dollar they can out of incremental performance products.

Amen! It astonishes me that an $80 Phenom II x4 965 from 5 years ago can still run most games maxed out. That is insane!

Really? Wow! Never would have imagined that!

My brother was forced to switch from an i7-920 @ 3.2 GHz to a Phenom II x4 @ 4.0 GHz (Long Story). He got slightly better performance.
