  Hey I am kind of new at all of this, but I am looking into getting a gaming computer. A friend of mine has been a die hard intel fan since creation while my brother is a fan of AMD. I’ve looked at benchmarks and read up on both platforms, but I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. This pc will be used primarily for gaming, things like skyrim, swtor, or MW3. How do these benchmarks translate into gaming performance?

  Are you sure you have the right forum? This is a Mac user forum, and Macs don’t use AMD CPUs, just Intel.

  I’d suggest looking at http://www.anandtech.com or http://www.tomshardware.com for benchamarks and comparisons.
