One thing you will notice in the world today is that most computer vendors will offer a variety of computer packages from various specifications aimed to catch you fancy. Apparently, PC configurations have an integral role as far as gaming or for other means such as graphics designing or the standard document and spreadsheet use.
Normally, we would look at the usual Pentium series to get the best performance as far as gaming is concerned. However, it seems that other chip manufacturers such as AMD are trying to position themselves wisely to be able to become options for the traditional computer buyer. With that in mind, you can just imagine at how other people would be particular about specifications aimed to impress people who rarely care on brand or performance as long as they can worry less about shutdowns and breakdowns.
AMD doesn’t currently offer a CPU that can match the fastest Intel chips (or arguably a single GPU that can match the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX), which is one of the reasons it has been preaching a “balanced platform†approach. AMD’s CPU-GPU platform does offer a lot of performance for the price, and AMD’s Game initiative is a logical extension of the balanced platform push. But whether it will succeed in getting the word out to a group that is difficult to market to–or meet the fate of logo programs such as AMD Live and Intel Viiv–remains to be seen.

Apparently, gaming has invaded the PCs of today and many computer manufacturers are trying desperately to make sure that they adhere to these said demands. AMD just made the move to that direction so expect a fierce battle for supremacy in the computer vending world!
