AMD 8350 & 7970 Gaming Rig Review

HA! What you mean you havent heard yet? ASRock has bought out Asus. It was only a matter of time. :rollinglaugh:

That would be ironic considering Asrock broke away from Asus.... And then to buy them back... Wow lol

Should become very interesting???

Hey, With the recent anoucements about Nvidia's Technical marketing manager and other staff joining AMD the battle should get even closer. Reports say Sean Pelletier, the person mentioned above will be initially concentrating on the GPU side of AMD's business???

AMD are making some serious moves. Not only have they pretty much got into bed with nearly every big game creator they're also head hunting everywhere.

It's crazy really. They fired a buttload of staff after the Bulldozer fiasco and have hired people from other companies who really know what they're doing.

They also recieved back their top 3 engineers from Apple. The 3 engineers were all hardware junkies so hopefully they can also contribute to AMD. I think they are all in the CPU R&D team.

Yep, the last time a lot of these guys were with AMD, Intel was 2nd place. Granted that was half because the Athlon was king but also because Intel dropped the ball with Netburst which was Intel's "Bulldozer". Like I said before, there are a lot of optimistic things AMD fans such as myself can look to and feel pretty good about the future .

They've done a huge reshuffling lately, as to whether they'll return to profitability or not is another thing tbh.

Their tablet processor Temash is where I'd see the most hope for them.

On the tablet level they are competing with ARM which owns the tablet market.
Much different then AMD vs. Intel.
