Welcome to 2008...AMD is good at being cheap, and that's about it.

yea he ment 80 cores. The processor itself consists of 80 single cores linked together. It's soo big, it's bigger than a regular eating plate.

It will probably have a lot of problems, cost a lot more than any computer, and only be for servers.

I chose AMD for my last build because I had been hearing how good they are. I thought they were slightly more expensive because they were better.

My mistake.

My next build will most definitely be an Intel build.
