Also I can confirm half the people who jumped on you to buy intel were diehard AMD crew people back when they were good CPUs.

If you had come in saying "I specifically need AMD for *this* reason, irrelevant of it being worse" you would've got recommendations. Asking vaguely "what is a good AMD processor?" is going to get you recommended Intel because for the same money the Intel processors are objectively better. Jesus, how badly does your dick bleed after you jerk off with an intel processor?

I got an AMD FX-8300 and an MSI motherboard combo from tigerdirect for $175 a while back. It's just for virtual machines that don't do much heavy lifting so slower but a little more parallel is fine. The 8300 is around $100 usually (but is OEM packaged so you need your own heatsink), and the 8320 goes on sale for close to that regularly. Check the processor TDP before you buy, there are newer low power 95W versions of even the higher clocked 8 core models, but the older revisions are 125W and so they use more power and require more cooling. The Vishera section here lists them all with some specs except for price: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors I can't hear you guys fighting over the 80x32mm screamer fan on my 1.4ghz thunderbird.

The only problem is that there are no AM3 motherboards in an ITX form factor, so I can't repurpose this perfectly good chip into a smallish HTPC a la Silverstone ML07 and use a riser card for the GPU. It's all gotta be mid-tower sized cases turned on their sides, and that's just rubbish. Fun fact, I recommend AMD parts to people I don't like. I get to maintain the appearance of helping them, while at the same time, trapping them on AM3 and 880FX.

It's all gotta be mid-tower sized cases turned on their sides, and that's just rubbish. My phenom II 965 BE would still be good enough. I upgraded because I wanted a PC that I could play SCII 4x4 games on - then lost interest without ever playing a single multiplayer game. What makes it even dumber is I realized games are a colossal waste of time. I fire DosBox or Civ 4 up from time to time and that is about it. Without gaming I'm expecting an Ivy 3750 to last for about 8 years if I never upgrade from Windows 8. At least my parents have a really overpowered and loud web browsing PC. When will AMD update their roadmap? I'm going back to school to get my masters. I am interested in HSA programming techniques as a potential thesis. Realized I just need a cheap mobo + processor + case. I have an old micro ATX power supply, a sata laptop HD, and I can borrow RAM and a cd drive from my PC. Looks like I can do that for like $130.

The confluence of a shift to HBM products, potential announcement of the 300-series of GPUs, shift to 20nm process in 2015, and the scheduled investor relations conference are probably a good sign. They've been hinting that we might not see any 16nm FinFET products until 2016, though.

Just ran the Tomb Raider benchmark at normal settings with SSAO and got 79 fps min, 120 max. The first game that I was interested in and couldn't play was DA: Inquisition a month ago. Was this the last good CPU AMD made 5 years ago that y'all are referring to?

The Phenom II X6 1100T was AMD's last hurrah on the high end, it was pretty competitive with the high end Nehalmen Intel's at the time, but once Sandy Bridge came out it was pretty much all over for AMD as a performance desktop option.

It was a double whammy: Sandy Bridge had incredible performance, and AMD's new architecture had deep fundamental problems that meant it was 2 years before they produced another CPU as fast as the Phenom II 965. You can't afford to come out with a new product that is worse than your old product in this business. AMD had some really cool niche products creep out too, like the E-350 CPUs that were in netbooks ~ 2010 and 2011. Way better experience than an Atom for the same price and battery life.

The most recent machine I bought with an AMD chip in it was because I wanted an integrated Radeon GPU. The A4-1200 sucks, but it sucked less than comparable (~4W TDP) Atoms in the graphics department.

Even when they do gently caress up colossally these mega corps are often shielded from much or even any sort of legal action and even if found guilty and fined often have their fines drastically reduced at a later date like BP did with the Deepwater Horizon oil spills or any of the banks and the robosigning scandals. Anti trust is a dead issue in this day and age and I don't know why it keeps being brought up as a serious issue anymore.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:The anti trust issue thing is a old holdover fear from the 80's/early 90's. As the mega mergers between banks, telecomm, and media companies have shown in the last 10-15 yr if the company is big enough it doesn't have anything to worry about anymore as far as anti trust regulation goes. The regulators are all too willing to look the other way or even help companies get around the rules or rewrite them if necessary. It should be noted: Fines are also tax deductible.

NullPtr4Lunch posted:Yep, still using mine. Can you tell me a game/software where you are GPU-bound instead of CPU? I think currently Spintires is the only game I have that meets the description. Silvermont Atoms have Ivy Bridge GPU slice(1/4 of the HD4000) and it's a pretty good performer TDP/SDP considered. I would've taken some higher-end Mullins SoC notebook if there were any available in 10.1" form but thanks to Intel giving out Atom designs for free to OEMs you can't choose AMD there either.

Restitution isn't considered a fine however and settlements are sometimes ambiguous about what amount of them is legally a fine. There are teams of lawyers arguing over just how much of anything counts as a fine and minimizing that amount.

Does anyone know of a good pound-for-pound comparison between the A10-5700 and the A10-7800? I'm trying to weigh the value of upgrading my APU/mobo, all else being equal. I don't feel like paying $250 if I'm not getting a notable performance boost (gaming).
