Need Help, Thinking About Building a Computer (under $1000)

[Asera]

Not to mention it took 4 full cores from an AMD to compete with 2 Intel. If this says anything about Bulldozer I don't foresee AMD taking any crown other than Midranged/Lowend as they've always been.

You do realize that Llano's CPU side is modified K10 tech, right?

Bulldozer itself will be a brand new architecture. The goal with Llano was to integrate a good IGP into the CPU package, hence why they went with the tried and true Phenom architecture to base it on. Why would they risk EVERY new Fusion chip on a brand new architecture? Especially in the sector that makes the most profit for them.

It's a smart move for AMD, they met the goal they were aiming for with Llano, and despite it being 2 generations old CPU tech, it can keep up with the new i3's to an extent, plus has an IGP that absolutely dominates Intel's.

Nope, didn't realize :P



Looks a lot different to me :P They use the same architecture that will also be in Bulldozer called "Stars".

Ok thanks for the imput guys. It looks like I will also need a new monitor, any suggestions?

Oh poop here we go.

I recommend a 37" 120HZ $500 monitor. /nod
I'm kidding. x3

It's pretty common knowledge that the cpu core in the current llano is based on the k10 core.
