HC is a big scam. Everyone knows it. Everything is vastly overpriced. They know people will pay. So we do. This is largely a domestic issue, and if you don't think it has anything to do with lobbyists your a fool. There is a good reason why pills are 20$ rather than 20 cents. Even up here in Canada our HC system is being destroyed by profiteers.
Why does a a cancer treatment cost 4000$ a month when the drug costs 2 dollars to produce? The drug company will way "because we spent 100 million on H&D and have to recoup costs". Yet if you look at their books, they might have spent 20 million on all their drug research, and that cancer treatment will never get cheaper despite how many other drugs they research or how much time goes by. Now compound that by a government monopoly, then times that by basically running a cartel, and you have the current state of affairs.
I know all the USA people will think this a communist idea, but I would love to see our government say "fine, if that's how you want to play, then the Canadian government is now going to get into the business of making drugs... perhaps we will become the largest, and undercut the rest and supply the world...". The idea is fraught with problems, but I certainly don't see the "market" correcting itself, considering the greed at the price of human suffering over say the last 50 years the current system has proven what it is capable of.

All I am saying is we cannot discount the idea of a world machine in the centre of the world which if you apply a funny sounding key will cause the world to rotate, thus making it even more earthlike!
Speaking from personal experience I am wishing now that I spent a bit more on CPU.
Years ago when I built my last system I combined a C2D 4200 and a 1950Pro thinking when the time came I would just OC the 4200 or upgrade it as needed.
However I bought the one 4200 that couldn't OC worth a damn (or its my MB or something), and shortly after I bought it Intel changed the standards for my socket limiting my upgrade options.
So it is actually kind of easier to upgrade your video card, which to me is a bit backwards but whatever. As it is unlikely that the PCI express interface is a lot less likely to change in the next 5 years compared to the various MB socket changes by both AMD and Intel.
So while yes you are right, game PLAY is GPU limited, actually loading the game is still CPU dependent, and unless you enjoy sitting around forever waiting to play it might be better to get a decent CPU first, and when you need to, replace your video card.
Anyway that's my personal experience. I could go out tomorrow and buy a 500$ video card, however to upgrade my CPU I would need not only buy a new CPU, but now a new MB, Memory, etc...
Blockbuster as a company was always pretty much an idiot douchebag. I hated them with a passion. The really did suck, and I am not sad nor surprised that they are gone.
Feel a bit bad for all the high school kids that now have no jobs however...
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. "
I am pretty sure when the English and French were duking it out in Canada it was about Beavers and Fish. At least metal is shiny, and rare earths can do interesting things not just filthy water rat fur and stinky fish. Eh?:)
GPU is definitely more important these days if you are gaming. However if your not gaming it is moot and in many cases even if you are, you can be easily CPU limited. Also if your getting a dedicated video card, your typically not getting a really cheap system to begin with.
I would argue that the 170$-250$ (which is the mid range) is the Largest part of the market. I am talking custom system building, not the millions of POS low end garbage that Dell and others spit out each year.
Yeah the intel board are a bit more expensive, but then again they also use a newer standard, so you are paying for it.
Yeah i7 is too rich for my blood and the high end MB are just silly. i5 + 120-130$ MB is way more value for your money.
Upgrading to a low end CPU makes no cost sense either (unless you are replacing a dead, not trying to improve or increase the life of your system). Typically your limited to your MB anyway, and once that is toast, you will need to spend a lot anyway, so why would you not maximize that as much as you can.
1) Tomshardware is not a good review site. The reviews there I take with a large helping of salt, the only thing I like there is the charts to amalgamate the larger scope of results. Even those I take in the most general of sense. [H]ardOCP is much better, as is Arand, and a host of others.
2) "Best Gaming CPU" for say 140$ is like saying the Ford Fiesta is the best hauling truck for under 14k. It doesn't exist. If you are buying the severely low end, what does it really matter what you pick, they will all really suck, and/or do what job they can reasonably do about the same. So it isn't really a choice. No one is buying a CPU for gaming for 70$, the fact they even mention it shows how little understanding they have. Just like when a friend wanted advice on sub-500$ laptops. There is VERY little difference, they will all sort of suck, and they will all do the job you want it to do more or less. An even more extreme version is netbooks, as they almost always have the exact same components making comparing them a bit silly in most cases. This is because they are so low end.
Considering what you are spending on building a system (which is likely what you are doing unless upgrading), and how important your CPU is (I would argue it is the MOST important), I personally don't understand why someone would spend X amound dollars on a system and go cheap on your CPU for the sake of 40-60$.
A Hockey analogy (because I am from Canada eh? and have been looking at gear recently), if I am going to spend say 800-1500$ on gear, why would I only spend 100$ on skates which is the most important part.
Same with building a computer system, if your going to spend 1000-1500the money to build one, why only spend 100$ on a POS CPU?
If you argue, well if they are building a 500-600$ system it makes a difference, then I would argue that they don't really care about performance then, and it doesn't really matter then does it. So long as you can use facebook and send an email or two who cares.
But then your not looking a a Price/Performance value. Your just looking at price, because you really don't care about performance.
So that was pretty long winded to boil that down...:)
OK as someone that follows this pretty closely I am not all that impressed just yet. I have done the research, and no AMD does not have the price/point value or advantage.
Firstly Intel's i5 will beat anything AMD has in 90% of benchmarks at the same price range. Secondly most people are hard pressed to use 2 cores let alone 4 or 6. Thirdly most developed software has a hard enough time using 2 cores, let alone 4, or 6. AMD's technology and die sizes is less advanced, and larger (which is not good). In certain specific situations AMD can have an advantage, but this is rare, and that must be all you plan on doing. So for instance if your using it for work, doing rendering, and that is all you are doing, and AMD has a benchmark advantage in the software you use for that, then sure go out and buy one. However for general usage, video games, etc... advantage Intel.
Someone did make the point that the AMD mother boards are cheaper, and this is true. However at the low or mid end the differance is only maybe 20% or 20-30$ so not all that significant really (at the high end yes their are some stupidly expensive intel MB out there, but who buys those anyway, not someone that is really worried about price or value I assume). Also the past has shown us that AMD makes just as many socket changes as Intel, they have simply delayed it due to not being on par with intel technology. It will happen, and then your 20% less costly MB will be 100% less compatible when they do change the standards, as you just bought at the end of a lifecycle.
Anyway like anything, it really comes down to your requirements, what you need, and what other components you plan on buying to make a complete system. Taking by their definition "components" and passing judgement may not be all that useful as you need to look at the whole system and what you plan to do with it. That said, if I were to go out and buy a new CPU tomorow it would be an Intel i5. AMD did have the advantage years ago, but ever since the Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD has been struggling to keep up. I sincerly hope that they will come out with something that trumps Intel technology, and takes back the technological advantage, as that would be the best thing for the market and the consumer. However simply slapping more cores on a solution it does not make.
1) Tuition will go up. 2) Criminals will target schools. 3) Tablets and iPads and Laptops, etc... will be stolen. 4) Students will be required to have them and be forced to buy more. 5) Repeat steps 1-4 several million times. 6) Parents will try and sue school. 7) School will say tough bananas, you should have kept your dorm room locked. 8) Repeat steps 6-7 several thousand times. 9) In the end Professors will ban them in their classrooms anyway, as all the students will be playing video games, on facebook, or doing something/anything but paying attention to what the professor is teaching.
I had it running on my system, using an old purchased copy, and a ton of hacks to get it to work on Vista (mostly). I tried to tell him how to do it, but in the end he didn't want to bother all the trouble, and for I think 5$ he bought a copy that will just install and work.
For him this was money well spent, as he didn't want to bother spending the time to figure it out, and really is your time not worth 5$?
As many posters have pointed out, this has been done with hardware for sometime now, only difference is a fix for the disable being implemented on software. Both CPU and GPU have had instances of disabling certain features through hardware, and hobbyists have figured out ways to reconnect them, if you really want to. Usually there is a chance of destroying whatever you are altering, but that's the risk you take.
At one point Graphic Cards did the EXACT same thing, where pipes, etc would be disabled, but using their driver software, through I don't think companies would trying to sell you an upgrade, just binning cards for the market an easy way, a more easy way than actually having to design a whole bunch of crippled cards. This CPU crippling is the same, it would be much easier/cheaper to simply make one chip and disable some for cheaper markets than to design and build crippled chips.
The problem with this model which the graphic card industry found out VERY quick (I think it only lasted a year or two), is that hobbyists found out REALLY quick that all the cards are exactly the same so all you had to do was crack the driver and you could turn your 100$ card into a 500$ card. This was done in no time, and everyone installed the crack software and the cheap card, as why would you ever buy the expensive one?
Intel will learn of this if they follow through with this plan, I guarantee it.
Er. I am not sure how "Shocking" it is. Anytime the BSA or the RIAA or CRIA etc... use "statistics" to prove a point they usually aren't worth the paper they are printed on. They don't even make an attempt to be even remotely accurate or truthful. They just use it for "Shocking" talking points, that they feed their bought and paid for puppet politicians to repeat over and over again in the media so they people buy the hokum they are selling.
I would be hard pressed to even think of organizations that I would trust less in their use of statistics and the "general use of numbers". In other words all they spout is BS, why would I ever consider anything that they spout not to be BS.
This article would make more sense if they only put quotes around "Shockingly" in a smarmy sarcastic way, unless that was the intention anyway...
I used my chip card at a store once, and they guy was like "Hi Steve!", and I was like "Er hi?", and the merchant was like "Your name is stored on the chip and when I plug it in, your name pops up on my screen!", he seemed so happy I didn't want to tell him that it is also printed on the card as well, that you can see what your eyeballs.
