I'd be fine with all the Bulldozer-related drama if you didn't have games seemingly being coded more to favor Intel/NVIDIA. :( (i.e. Blops on PC requiring NVIDIA cards for 3D.)

Still running an ol' AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (5050e?) 2.6 GHz dual-core here...

Jesus, I never knew the power draws for Bulldozer chips was so drat high :stare: Pretty sure my next build is going to Intel again (had all AMD up until my current PC) unless AMD pulls some crazy 180 and starts whipping rear end on Intel like they did back in the A64 days.
:catstare: And I thought my 965 BE (TDP 125 W) was bad enough to merit a Hyper 212 Plus...

Count me in on the Intel bandwagon (also been all AMD up to now) for my next build... assuming I can find deals on them low enough to justify it (missed the boat on a i5-2500K for $150 from Microcenter).
