New AMD Zen CPU details have emerged

That would've been my guess as well. Were they ever ahead in the CPU segment? I'm not that well educated on anything prior to bulldozer i'm afraid.

Once upon a time. I remember my FX 57 being the best processor for gaming u could get. I think that the phenom and athlon days were amd's golden years. It was the second gen I series when Intel really got back into the lead.

The Phenom was actually where they tanked. I mean they weren't awful like Bulldozer but compared to the Q6600 they were positively naff. The Phenom 2 managed to match the later Core 2 Quad but by the time they had done that Intel had released X58.

Game over man, game over.

Vishera is not bad for a budget rig but I mean budget (I3 range). They desperately need Zen really.
