AMD Sucks anyway. Intel delivers a fully integrated and innovative system that works. I've hand assembled hundreds of computers. The only one's we see returned for faulty hardware are the systems that run AMD processors... why? Because AMD doesn't make boards, and the suppliers that make AMD compatible boards do a poor job of it. Don't care if they're the underdog.. that's not what it's about. It's about delivering a system that works.. not a standalone chip. If AMD doesn't deliver a fully integrated system that works they're not getting orders from me. I recommend all my clients run Intel boards and processors—they always work. I haven't produced one faulty Intel board and process system in years... where as the punk gamers that think they know something come in with their faulty gigabyte or asus/AMD systems and out cry that it just failed. I buy good parts for AMD systems.. just to bad the best AMD compatible boards are crap compared to the bottom of the barrel Intel boards—in terms of quality of construction

The counter argument is that AMD could compete if Intel wasn't always making things unfair.. HELLO, duh! If AMD tried to be more innovative and practiced more business sense, not to mention quit whining about how unfair business is they probably would do better. They make poor decisions, where as Intel has made good ones, that have culminated in them being the underdog... a business becomes what it is today.
