I've already admitted I'm an AMD fanboy* (Not really fanboy, just trying to make people see AMD as a choice when AMD offers a competitive solution). I honestly do think the results justify that AMD will have the best single-card performance and the best performance at each price point however.
*Reasons:
1. AMD has released specs on their graphics cards and are working with the community to build an open-source driver
2. Intel abused their monopoly position by bribing OEMs when they had an inferior product 2001-2006.
3. If AMD dies (and it's not looking good) then we would have an Intel monopoly.
4. I'm British. I've got to support the current underdog.
Yes, I'm seeing a $199 MSRP too. I'll update it.
