I actually applaud AMD for finally doing something right with their naming schemes. It's about time we get some commonality on both sides in regards to the alphabetic letters they tack on the end.
Ivy Bridge still the best gaming chip out there, i knew the upgrade from 2500k was worth it, the '5600k'? sounds too Intelish right there.

Newsflash: APU's are entry level processors and were never designed for gaming, so trying to compare one with an i5/i7 is just fanboi babble and nonsense...

well i read the a10 review and this one and happened to notice the gaming benchmarks and that the Ivy was on top.
While i was reading up on the Ivys it wasn't so clear cut a picture you kinda had to read between the lines to extract the fact.
Sorry more babbling, i was only intending to point out the gaming benchy nothing else.
I'm not an Intel fanboi, they're the best as is widely known, not so clear cut in the gPU Dept. however though nvidia are starting to take hold with their PhysX titles - next up Arma3 and the secret world is gonna be injected with some too.
more babbling you shouldn't have got me started.
