So, who's considering getting one? AVX, FMA, XOP, etc. Looks nice to me, from some prelims, but of course, power-consumption isn't as good as Intel. Which for DC ends up being important for some.
Researching some overall options but probably will pull the trigger on the FX-8350, new motherboard, and RAM. Adding up to see how much the difference is between an I5 and I7 build. Along with trying to prioritize which projects I would care more about in the AMD/ATI vs Intel/nvidia scenarios.
