OK, so I've not been following the developments very closely these days and have never followed Intel at all. Today my friend asked me to go to Chandni with him and I was there taking Quotations.
I got Intel Core i3 2100 with Intel motherboard for around 8-9k and AMD X4 645 with Gigabyte 880GM USB3L for 9.2k
For a minute I was shocked coz as far as I know, this i3 is at par with 645 as far as performance goes. I believe that with this motherboard, AMD would still beat the Intel in graphics performance. But still, I had never imagined that Intel would be in tough competition to AMD in this price bracket (sub 10k mobo-proccy combo).
And with graphics cards becoming increasingly common, graphics performance doesn't even matter that much
