When is the last time you've been genuinely excited for an AMD processor?
Back when Netburst arrived.
What a load of wank that was.

Kaveri with the promise of a better implementation of HSA. I'm slightly disappointed that it's not widely used, aside from faster jpg loading and a few adobe programmes.

Only reasonable choice when you're going for gaymen laptops, as long as it doesn't have a dedicated GPU.

Bulldozer. All the magazines were publishing a photo of bulldozer plowing over a bridge made of sand. Back then I was getting hyped for CHIP magazine too.

I'd almost forgotten that there was a time when I was happy to run an AMD processor. AMD had a good run with their 64 bit platform until Intel got its shit togeter with Core 2.
