Thuban was a great CPU. Phenom II competed with C2Q on a equal level but Bulldozer failed and here we are waiting for next great CPU from AMD. Hopefully we'll have decent competition next year or Intel will tear us apart with prices. Your wife probably dont even have basic knowledge when it comes to computers if her 3 years old laptop cant even stream a YT videos. Also, I sense fanboyism on your part. I can probably attack you for having a 4 way titans saying its stupid af but im keeping it for myself so should you.

Wow..........you really have some other stuff going on here don't you. Thank you very much for your sacred input....thank you. Thank you....thank you. Keep on keepin on in life with those assumptions about people you have no idea about to make that life of yours seem that much sweeter. Fanboyism....really guy.?!? Because I swear it sounds like you can't get off that RED SHAFT fast enough to make that comment you wanted. I don't have to explain life to you....because your momma and daddy failed to. Douche............BAG!

What a load of BS.. and this is coming from a Intel user ever since the first pentium.. enough with the trolling

Good thoughts there. This is coming from an OG AMD all the way guy. I guess performance is not enough to get to the other side for any reason in anything in life these days. Now I'm trolling because of a comment too. Gotta take in all the love being thrown around here. Nope wait that's just bull$hit.....

You know there is a multiquote feature right? Like all of that could have been one post? You're also completely missing the point. You sat there and basically said that AMD's entire product lineup sucks based on your one experience with a laptop that may or may not be equivalent to an i5. No one is going to take you seriously if you do that and it definitely reads like a flamebait/troll post. No one cares if your "OG AMD" or whatever. If you're going to make claims like you did you need to back them up with something more than just "well I had an AMD laptop once and it sucked so AMD sucks" Regardless I doubt it matters because your response to Undying is probably going to get you timed out/banned -- but hopefully you'll read this and in the future refrain from posts like that.

I guess experiences are experiences. And for what I said is all it would take to get people excited about it all says a lot because what I says isn't far from it being completely true... Ask anyone with a system that needs it for more than gaming...."what's inside.....?!?" People need to calm the **** down for sure....

There has to be something more to the information on that laptop. You are only trashing the cpu. I can guarantee the cpu/apu in that laptop is better than the cpu in my sig. When you state that the cpu is pegged at approx. 100% when streaming anything over 720, what other programs are running in the background? Is hardware acceleration enabled? GPU drivers can be at fault as well. Is it an APU not actually a cpu? The APU could be throttling due to insufficient cooling. That would be the laptop's manufacturer's problem. The only time I would have issues with playback was because of the gpu, never the cpu. Playback issues vanished when the gpu was upgraded to a 6950 from a 3870.

All I can say is that ZEN better be a win for AMD because if it isn't, I think this may be the end of them. They have been bleeding money for so long. Honestly, I don't think even if this is a hit, they can last another failure afterwards. They need to keep producing for the long haul. Hope they have a winner. For customers sake at least. Or we will be torn a new one from Intel/nV.

Some people have a lot of energy to waste their time trolling forums like deskstar over there. It's interesting how it is so effective at gathering attention that even onlookers like me end up commenting on it. lol He must get it directly out of trumps trolling handbook.

not that im a big amd fan but i dont think its the amd cpu in that laptop giving problems..perhaps it was just the network [card] giving issues,,,also should update drivers and get rid of maybe bloatware/spam /adware on the laptop
