AMD is a good company with a bad current lineup. At least they dotn lock out features or reserve them for the 1500$+ CPU's like crippletel does. They charge an extra 100$ for a "feature" that they have to go in and lock out, it actually takes them more effort to make the cheaper product. THATS how greedy and awful intel is. Their only 6 core processors are 600 & 1100$, AMD had a consumer level 6 core processor last generation and it was comparable to intels I7 lineup, their current one isnt. Theyre not bad, just not as good as intels chips. but at least AMD isnt a greedy big organization like crippletel.
AMD doesn't lock out features because they need those features in order to remain remotely competitive. They inflated prices on their top processors themselves back when they held the performance crown. I assure you that AMD would raise prices if it could keep selling processors at that price, but the way things are consumers would just laugh at AMD and buy better performing Intel processors. Even at current prices a lot of people laugh at AMD and buy better performing Intel processors.
And yes...Intel is greedy. They're a company that wants to make a profit. This is not an inherently bad or evil thing.
