As much as I like AMD processors I am sad to say that Intel chips of similar design as in i7's vs 8000 series AM3+ eats them alive. $ to performance though they are about equal.
I am holding off personally in upgrading my PC till the 4th quarter this year. Its expected that the next iteration of their performance line, piledriver architecture CPU's will be launched. They are reported to have a 40% performance increase per core.
Don't even think about buying the two new 8 core chips they just released. Its just the same chip with better base clocks and a much much bigger price tag.
