Amd can compete with these new clarkdales in performance front pretty easily.
I hope they will refresh theyre lineup with c3 revision on a whole spectrum.
However i think amd chipsets are long in the tooth in the power department.
Im almost sure system power consumption is much higher then intels because of this.
Mine 790FX ,all voltages at min, cpu clocked at 1ghz with 0.8v and damn system eats 130W of power.Thats wrong.
I really hope 800 series is more power friendly.
