Fer me the answer to this question can be summed up in one word ~ heat.
I live in a very hot climate, it eats AMDs fer breakfast. I am not the kind of person who is going to need small measures of extra performance. I don't think most of them mean much in the real world for the average user.
I think AMDs are very good processors. I would never argue that point. But I also find that cooling is a major concern for AMD users and despite what some may say, most of the savings on the CPU itself is quickly made up in the expense of additional cooling apperatus.
I feel that Intel makes a product that suits my needs straight out of the box. The less I have to worry about the better, as far as I'm concerned.
