Amongst gamers, intel are outselling AMD by at least 3-1. Many were excited by the promise of the new chips, but have gone back to Intel, as they just dont seem to be able to get on with AMD anymore. Its a shame really, as a few years ago anyone who wanted a gaming machine went for AMD. Ask any custom PC company, and you`ll get the same answer. Im not saying AMD are crap at all, its just that Intel are leading the market amongst gamers at the moment.
Ive had a few AMD based machines in the past, and never had a problem, but speaking to guys in the industry, it seems they are getting a lot of returns or unfavourable feedback. Personally, I`d like to see AMD become the market leader again in the future, but I think thats some time off yet.
