AMD's recent release of its FX-55 and 4000+ processors has put the performance onus back on Intel's shoulders in no small way. The top-end consumer market is, as you would expect, comprised of buyers with fat wallets and high expectations. It's not good enough to be fast; you have to be at least as good as the main competition and preferably faster. That's especially true of core markets such as graphics cards, CPUs, and motherboards.
