"At the AMD & HardOCP Game Experience event held in Texas, gamers were asked to participate in a blind test. The test involved gaming on two sets of gaming PCs with two PCs each, in each set is an AMD-powered PC, and an Intel-powered one. Participants weren't disclosed which PC was driven by what, as they were assembled in identical-looking cases (no window), with identical monitors and other peripherals. The first set is of budget single-monitor HD gaming, while the second set is high-end three-monitor gaming. "

People i know have often pointed out that AMD systems are smoother than my SB system in similar games to which i give a long "Riteeeee". But there might be something to it i guess, i have also gamed on a FX 8120 and did not notice much difference between it and my 2600k at 1080p but i did not give it another thought.

I still think this was a big flop for AMD and no one should think differently, its the same thing that happened with R600 and ATi "Too Hot/Big/Hungry". I hope AMD shuts down the FX branding for the BD's and outs some limited PD with the same FX branding but i know its not gonna happen ....
