AMD's low-end procs are really unbeatable for the price and perfect for family/friend builds (of which I do MANY). They bring acceptable performance to a price point the masses can afford. Also- the APUs are pretty sweet. LOVE my E-350 netbook (love the battery life and being able to play some games on a netbook!) and had a good time playing with the Llano pc I just built for my mother. Very nice stuff. Also- their GPUs are killer power/performance/price. :-D
I love AMD because they were the first highend piece of computer hardware I had (otherwise, I always bought the cheap/old stuff at yard sales back then).
Nice. Reason I love AMD processors: price vs. performance. Lower price for nearly identical performance (although Intel and AMD leapfrog each other, it is very close.). Factor in the price difference, and it's a no brainer.
I've been all AMD since my socket A 1800+ back in 2001 ish... They've always provided the best bang for my buck...
