I'm amazed that there is no outrage here. People actually defend it. I guess the blind adoration of a company really has no limits for some.

Bullldozer here I come.
What extra cash? You don't appear to be running on a tight budget, so if the rumor about the $200 i7 2500K turns out to be true, I dont know what the problem would be. IMO It all depends on how they handle the K-series CPUs on LGA2011 since that's the real enthusiast platform. I'm not defending anyone, multi overclocking is nowhere as fun as FSB overclocking, and you don't increase RAM performance, but if it's still faster than BD, I don't mind getting one to replace my trusty Q9550@3,9GHz. If BD turns out to be as fast/faster and more fun, my money will go to AMD this time round. It's as simple as that, really.
