Phenom performs worse than Core 2, clock per clock

you guys are missing the point......AMD and ATI are key for budget builds and less fortunate families...i hate to label them, but they are.

For now that may be the case, but I wouldn't say for "less fortunate families".

And by the way, AMD wasn't always behind and forced for the low/mid ranged processors, their Athlon 64 was top not that long ago.
 
AMD 'cannot' go bankrupt, the US would have a stupid way of saying that Intel violated an anti-trust act(monopoly). Just like they did with Microsoft...
 
If someone not ocing, it is good to go for AMD.
One reason is they probably don't need to change MB for a upgrade for CPU later even the AM3 socket coming out.
 
You guys are misjudging.... yes Phenom is slower but look at the cost... it's all about the cost.
 
at 2.2GHz the Phenom 9500 will set you back $251, and at 2.3GHz you'd have to part with $283

A Q6600 at newegg is $279.99. The way it stands right now, I'd say the only reason to buy one is you are an AMD fanboy or you have an AM2 board you want to squeeze a bit more out of.
 
Yea, Intel Quad core not only perform better but it have better performance per $, and it have better performance per watt as well

At worst, AMD stock would reach a point where leveraged buyout firms would consider a takeover, or another technology company buying up the stock. It's rare for a publicly held company the size of AMD to declare bankruptcy, but it has happened. Enron and Worldcom are a few examples.

And yes, I'm rootin' for AMD 100%!
