Rig almost done
My next rig is almost done! Shall show it to you guys out there once its completed. I said I wanted to go with Intel's core i7 but I backed out. Corei7... Futureproof? 1156 or 1366 already shows how intel's processors does not care much about backwards compatibility. AMD's am2 to am2+ to am3, all backwards compatible. Even their future processor, the 6-core thuban runs am3. Corei7's gulftown cpu on 1366? guess so..
Excuses but the real reason behind the decision on getting AMD's AM3 platform is because of crossfire. Dragon platform looks good. You can do pci-e 2.0 at x16,x16,x8,x8 with 790fx chipset=quadfire. I7? Really nothing much. 1366, x16,x16,x4(if i'm not wrong). Well its because I've got myself an am3 motherboard first, that's why I'm settling with AMD.
I believe everyone may have the problem of choosing processors. AMD or Intel? Cost for performance wise, I will go AMD. If what you want is performance and not care about cost, go for the i7s from intel. I must admit that Intel is able to get more people buying products because of their brand. Many have heard Intel, but AMD?
