don't hate on AMD, without them....affordable cpus would not exist.
You can still get a boss mainstream system with amd components for considerably less than intel's offerings.
They also have a much stronger graphics capability in an APU than intel. For 80% of the world, that processor can do everything they need. A real boon for the mobile platform which is where all the excitement has been at in recent times.
Only hard core PC gamers would snub AMD (ahhh.....and this is a forum that caters to hard core gamers, lol....so understandably, no love here)
carry on
