Piledriver, maybe, but by the time Steamroller gets here I'll probably be in the market. Unless, of course, Intel is still stomping AMD...

The i7-3930K  3.20GHz has a bench mark score of 13544 The FX-8150 has a bench mark score of 8267 The AMD costs less but it is less. Check cpubenchmarkmark.net.

I have been using AMD since the K5, but right now they are pretty far behind as far as speed goes. My last build was the first time i have used a intel chip in about 8 years. :(I still like the "fusion" chips that AMd is putting out, but straight up CPU vs CPU Intel is taking them to the task.
