I am one of the sad souls with a Asus CH V. Was waiting for the BD and with all the hype created by AMD and a few of the top members on numerous forums, I got carried away I guess....no more AMD for me. I also got carried away thinking that there was no way a company like AMD could introduce a new product that was probably as good as or worse than the older gen...

I guess people who were discredited before this will now sleep easy knowing that they have been proved right...

Sorry JF, but IPC didn't increase, sorry JF but its a new arch that's still trying to beat a 1100T comprehensively....forget the competition. What was AMD thinking, releasing a chip that didn't even beat the in house competition and at a higher price point and that to with way more power consumption???? Wow.....

I have been using AMD for the last 13 years now and have recommended it to a lot of people..but all the bull and just plain fail is now driving me away.
