Anyone see any price/performance charts on AMD processors? I'm getting the itch to build a computer and am considering moving from Intel to AMD. However, I get very confused with the cores and sockets when trying to look at performance. Budget would be around $250-$300 for the processor. Any recommendations to wait for something to happen in the market? Anyway, thank you in advance for any useful suggestions or links.
