Got a mail from TigerDirect promoting the first 8 core CPUs: the AMD FX-8120 and FX-8150. They have a very competitive price, $219.99 USD for the first, $259.99 the second, which seems good, given the frequency, cache and cores. On the other side, Inte can offer only 4 cores plus hyperthreading for the same price. The lesser brother, with 6 CPUs, sales for just $189.99. Of course, Intel still has the perfomance crown (by a narrow margin in some cases), despite the number of cores.
I can't even imagine how to use 8 cores! I have AMD with 3 cores and all soft is working extremly fast, but 8 cores...
