Not a performance related thread, but why won't the 83xx series run on existing AM3+ 970 chipsets if it already supports 125w Bulldozers?
Basically you now need a 990 now to run a 83xx series. That basically makes it pointless to go AMD now as you have to buy a 100 buck or more motherboard to even run a 83xx series processor.990 chipsets aren't cheap
You can run an i5-i7 easily on a 50-75 motherboard, depending on the features you want.
Basically this makes AMD less affordable in the high end lol
