The AMD one depends on numerous things for me. First off are they going to have a newer chipset than my 990FX mobo. has ? Are they going to have PCIe 3.0 slots on the mobo ? Are the cpu's going to be worth using again, like the Athlon 64's were ? If AMD doesn't do any of those, I don't see them surviving as a company.
They can't really compete with Nvidia alone. They need worthwhile cpu's to use or they're history.
That one is actually bad for everyone, as if AMD goes away, both Intel & Nvidia will rip us all off on all products.
Only tome will tell.
The current cpu upgrades for me, make no sense at all. The FX-8370 is the same as my FX8350 4.0GHz/4.3GHz Turbo Core 125 TDP. The 2 FX-9*** cpu's are slightly faster than mine, but the TDP is 220 on them. No current AMD based mobo really support's them without issues.
It's kind of the same with Windows 10's DirectX 12. Yes, video cards from the last 2 years will support some of DirectX 12's features, but they won't support all of them.
If we really want to use all of DirectX 12's features in Windows 10, we'll have to wait until some-time this summer/fall when AMD & Nvidia release a new series of video card's.
Either way though, for this year, as far as upgrades go, other than the Ceton InfiniTV 6 PCIe that I'm getting next month. The only other upgrade I want to do is a newer, better and bigger monitor. Either a IPS one or if I can find one I can afford, a newer 3D capable one. Either way, I want a 24" one. My current one is 21.5", non-IPS and only 60hz.
