Intel Builds Atom CPU For $8, Sells It For Up To $135

[Retro_71]

If you all remember back before the AMD Athlon Intel had very very high prices, why becuase they didn't have proper compertition in regards to CPU speeds that changed when AMD released Athlon which wiped the floor with the intel chips (i know becuase i was building intel Computer then Switched to AMD for 6 years) and now that AMD has stumbled (first their chip set and Second buying ATI (where they wanted NVidia (BTW Intel pretended to be interested in Nvidia to raise there price so that AMD could not buy them hence they got ATI))).
Anyway now that AMD CPU aren't that fast (compared to Intel) Intel is back to it's old ways. That just the way they are there out to screw everyone.
I don't like them but i have to build Intel PC for work. :pissed:

Simple answer, go AMD.

I would advise against it. The Athlons I have had experience with have been unreliable at best. Although once you get a good cooling system, it seems to go ok. Much more high maintenance in my opinion. Just get a PPC and a playstation if you want the latest games

I have never had that many problems with AMD's. I still have 2-7 year old AMD still working with no problems (considering all the offices and servers i have built where AMD very very few had problems) some had 3rd party cooling other didn't.
