PCWizKid has reviewed many AMD CPU's and loves them. Why? One thing to keep in mind is that AMD's intent is to give the best price for the performance you can get comparing it to the Intel CPU's. The choices are limited when it comes to CPU brands its either Intel or AMD. So if we are forced to chose one, lets make the best decision we can based on our budget.
Dont get me wrong, if money is no problem for you, please by all means get the Intel Core i7, PCWizKid admits that without a doubt the performance of an Intel Core i7 is greater however so is the price! Take a look at the CPU Hierarchy chart and you can see how Intel vs AMD compare, and then check the prices further below for AMD and you will see that for the average consumer who is looking to save and still get performance PCWizKid recommended AMD CPU's.
