I run a AMD CPU and it kicks Intel's anus

CPU wise amd is lagging, a lowly i3 is kicking the fx-6300's butt these days when it comes to gaming.

I'm really hoping amd's new zen based cpu's & arctic island gpu's for 2016 can step up to the plate. The market needs strong competition, I don't care whether you shout for the red or green team but without amd we will all be in a worse position.
