Bulldozer is the most screwed up architecture in AMDs entire history of designing CPUs. 


All of AMD's CPU's currently are pretty horrible in most respects.

They are however excellent at certain price points.


Because we all know that on a scale, there's only "horrible" and the "best". ¬_¬



The FX-9370 and 9590 are far from "pretty horrible in most respects". -__-

I wouldn't use those as your argument. They use 220 watts which is a huge drawback. AMD's best case is at the low end where something like the 6350 arguably trounces Intel's offerings at that price point.

Unfortunately they cant compete on performance so they compete on value. I suspect Intel isn't even interested in going after them too aggressively (there's a theory Intel likes to keep AMD around to prevent anti-trust issues). As long as they are at a harmless 15% market share Intel probably doesn't want to kill them.
