Very true, Alex. Hyperthreading is pretty much nonsense. I always build my own PC's, and prefer AMD at the core, as AMD is the single most important reason that Intel sells new generation CPU's at a reasonable price today. MAC appears to be a loser technology, as they attempted to build a (small) monopoly based upon creative case colors, and multimedia performance. Apple failed on both counts, and is now hawking their lousy excecution of a Linux/Unix based OS on Intel hardware. I have no use for an OS that doesn't take advantage of the right mouse button, and in recent years, MAC OS does nothing for me that either Win or Linux cannot do.
Consumers benfit from the competition between AMD and Intel. Most people don't even care about Apple and their ultra proprietary way of doing business.
