intel i7 8 core, £900
amd 8 core, £200
exactly the same specs and yet everyone nuts over the i7.
people just look at the price and think the more expensive something is the better.

I heaven't seen many people explain the reasons so i will tell you, Intel does not have an 8 core in the I7 category, AMD does but AMD placed 2 cores per module and so they have 4 modules and each on of those "modules" only has 1 thread so more power per thread for games but it goes down hill from there.
Intel I5s and I7s have more then twice the bus value giving them more speed with the RAM and higher over-clocking ability and with I7s hyper-threading 1 core can do 2 things at once meaning for 6 cores can do 12 things at once and that gives a big improvement with video editing, plus you have quad channel memory allowing for more ram with Intel without losing speed.

Also this is all coming from someone currently using a phenom II (975 @ 4.0ghz to be exact)

admittedly with the 6970's there's little need for 2 as of now, there's few games that cause a single one to struggle, but now and then they are neccisary, they will, however, not require replacing for a very, very long time (comparitivley speaking to most computer parts).
