"I bought AMD because I believe there is a good chance that AMD is going to
go out of business in the next year if their sales don't increase and I
couldn't stand on the sidelines and do nothing and watch that happen. So I
guess you can consider my latest CPU (and I am sure I am going to catch heat
for this) a pity purchase. I am under no illusion about its performance
relative to a new Intel CPU. If you are one of the people that think AMD
deserves to go out of business if they can't compete with Intel on
performance, be careful what you wish for because if AMD goes out of
business then Intel can go back to resting on their laurels, being
non-responsive to the market, and not innovating. Know this: If AMD goes
away so will your 300 usd I7 CPU."
