And the Intel build was cheaper. Talk about backward.
I really don't understand AMD's pricing really. They want almost 300$ for the 9370 that doesn't even come close to I7 performance. Then you need a 200$ mother board to handle it, then you need to have water cooling.
8320 - 130
8350 - 159
9370 - 189
9590 - 230
Thats where prices should be honestly. It sounds like I have a great 8320, but I can run toe for toe with a 9590 (stock one) with no problems for literally 1/3rd the cost and air cooling. I just really dont understand the 9000 series at all. It just seems like pointless **** measuring on AMD's part.
