Verran Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 intel slaps amd :/ They definately did. AMD dominated the gamer market for a long time, but no more. They still hold the budget computer crown IMO, but if you're looking to spend more than about $150 or so on a chip, I think you're just better off going Intel these days. I'm a BIG fan of AMD, but I'm kinda wondering if they're going to be able to take the market back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
