We've got a sneak peek at what Intel's land looks like at Computex.

Intel's got one of the largest presences at Computex this year, and obviously with that comes a massive booth. We even got to see some of the bunny men return! Check out a few of the pictures we snapped from the show floor:

    Intel wants to start making gaming more about the CPU, not the graphics card. So instead of having to buy a $350 GTX 285 we'll be looking at $1,000 "Extreme" CPUs from Intel. They are the largest manufacturer of CPU chips but still their prices are through the roof. $280 for entry level Core i7 which is $30 higher than AMD's flagship Phenom II X4 955. I'm no AMD fanboy but I'm not looking to a future controlled by Intel.

    The entry level core i7 beat's the flagship of amd.. So your point is moot their sorry.

    I'm not fanboy of Intel, but I'm also not a fanboy of AMD. They both have their pros and cons. You're not any cooler for being an intel hater, then the fanbois are.

    and the entry-level i7 is going to be discontinued soon as well :P

    So let me guess, this computex thing is an intel trade show?

    In gaming (as doomtomb was mentioning) the entry level core i7 actually trades blows with AMDs flagship for more money. It's in other applications where the i7 beats AMD. Just clarifying.

    Also to get and i7 with the X58 chipset is going to costs (with the cheapest board on NewEgg) $450
    To get the 955 with the 790GX chipset would be (with the cheapest board on NewEgg) $354.
    That's a near $100 price difference. Costs is the problem which doomtomb is pointing out. His point isn't moot.
