Is Apple falling off with AMD? The worst decision Apple has ever made.

Now I can't recommend any AMD CPUs. Intel has better performance per clock

I'd rather go with Performance per dollar. Clock frequencies are arbitrary.

My desktop PC has a pci-e ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro. Its been in that desktop since that card was brand new, which was what, about 4 years ago? Still performing like a champ, and is perfectly capable of playing all of my games easily. (DMC4, RE4, GoW 3, MW4). Thats not to mention the 1st gen AMD Phenom X4 9600 BE CPU thats behind it.

The AMD Phenom 9600 was an incredibly lousy cpu. Didn't they have some kind of recall? The latest AMD cpu's are actually pretty nice though, I'm rockin an 1100T at 4.2GHz. It'll outperform lynfield and Nehalem cpu's clock for clock in heavily threaded programs like Handbrake and are very affordable..
