Sorry but that is the general AMD rumor mill at work.

I Always prefer Intel but I can at least face the fact that AMD is "Slightly" better for gaming!

I build systems for a living and I have built both including many designed specifically for A/V work and Intel is more tha just a little ahead of AMD in A/V and number crunching and it shows in more than benchmarks!

My latest build was a $10,000.00 A/V machine so I am not barking up the wrong tree here.
