I've downloaded the hobbit demo and I'm...

I see that Tom's Hardware has released it's annual CPU comparison list. If your wondering how they stack up side by side before you upgrade you might want to check it out. From my perspective the AMDs don't overclock as well as Intel's, but dollars to Mhz, they offer more bang for the buck. --...
