Correct term is "price changer" not "game changer". This is Intel catching up.

K12 is a win, but it's not just the chip which has been improved...

Well, Phenom (8xx) also was just a higher clocked Athlon, which was outperformed by Phenom (same architecture tho, just L3 cacheless). But this, indeed, doesn't make sense. AMD always finds a way how to troll!

Well, those were his "cherry-picked" benchmarks (not overall) where 580 was actually ahead of HD7970. As you can see, he has 570 in his rig so there might be some nVidia fanboism coming out. Card is great, price is not. New architecture seems to take away those benchmarks where nvidia cards...

Ok, so that's the price of A8-3850 now and it's not just an incremental update but the unlocked package. :toast: Let's see how far it clocks and i might actually get one of these too, or a cheaper A8-3850. :laugh:

A8-3870K looks nice, I just hope the price is low enough.

These graphs... Every time I see a bar twice as long as comparison and something like "up to 50%" I know it's AMD. :D

Considering the fact that you're looking for a cheap card and not even an upgrade then 2nd hand 4850 should be dirt cheap. Cards worth upgrading to starts with 6850.

Something like HD4850/5750

Not at the same price, however.

There's a difference between i7-39xx which is SB-E and 37xx which is IB.

I believe some will still pay just to support him and he might actually get those 2k subs...

I'm playing League of Legends at the moment but wanted to try out Dota II (applied for beta but haven't received an invite so far). I really do like action games that are more RTS genre but still remain solid amount of action and Dota II just seems to that, also well balanced and more skill...

If you look at Athlons on FM1, yes, they should be able to beat Bulldozer.

Ye, you could push 2x the frequency on some of the phones and run it like a boss. Overclocking is a viable option but not on the phones because battery life is an issue...
