Where was i dumping on them movie? I like amd and have owned amd but as i said before i'm a price/performance whore and i just don't see the 8150 providing better results then my current 2500K for the money. If i was into folding or encoding the 8150 would be a sweet setup but all i do is bench, game and watch :banana::banana::banana::banana: and the 2500K owns that segment.
Now if the 8150 was 199 or lower then it would slide into view as a great alternative to my current rig but... You knew one was coming... If i was looking to build on October 12th and had to choose between a 2500K and a 8150 i'd have to weigh the options...
Price - Pretty even
Upgradability - AM3+ is pretty much a dead socket where 1155 has IB coming
Even if you were a die hard Amd fan. Would you really go the Amd route when you know 22nm Goodness is coming in 5 months?
