AMD Bulldozer - Is it worth it? [I very much guess so..]

[Nitros]

If your building a new computer go intel. I like AMD, usually hey were my preference, but intel seem to have much better things lined up upgrade wise.
If your already on an AMD system looking to upgrade, the AMD chips are very good price/performance, so def stick with that. But as I said, loohing to the future and upgrade potential, along with current line of chips - intel is dominating at the moment and for the foreseeable future - so any new system, I would say, should be socket 1155. If the i5 is too expensive, have a look at the i3s? Then upgrade in a year or two if your feel you need it.
