The last time amd kicked intel in the ass
Go to solution
Solved by LAwLz,
The Phenom II 955 was actually a very good pick compared to the i5-750. That was late 2009 to late 2010. But even then it was "the Intel is slightly better but costs more".
Since then it's just been "Intel crushes AMD except if you got a very specific budget".
The last time AMD was actually better, not just better in terms of price was Athlon 64 FX back in 2003. I don't remember all that well, but I think Intel did not start becoming dominant until they released the Core 2 Duo and that was something like 2006.
So I guess it looks kind of like this:
2003-2006 = AMD winning.
2006-2010 = Intel winning but not by much (for desktops, Intel was still better for laptops). AMD still found some uses.
2011-2016 = Pretty much no reason to get AMD CPUs.
