ya i got a amd 5600+ x2, and im happy with it, its my 1st and last amd, i can OC it to a amd 6000+ so im good to run crysis

GIJeff6694d ago

to amd yet. They had a slowdown recently, but will be kickin @$$ and taking names soon enough. Remember the p4 ownage with the FX? I see that happening again pretty soon. I am the proud owner of a fx-62. My PC boots and i am logged into windows in 35 seconds, ready to play COD4 at 70-90 fps. I paid 150 for my processor. AMD and intel teeder-todder every couple of years. Right now there is no need for a 1300$ intel quad core extreme that will get you a 10% framerate boost over a 100-200$ processor. That money is better spend on a great video card and sound card.

That and programs that are optimized for the Core Duo let never mind the quad are almost none existent. Though the Core 2 Duo is somewhat gaining in support, software wise.

has really come on strong. I wonder how AMD will compete with the quad cores that are out now?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit32d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing32d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
