Dropping from 65-nm Phenom and Athlon parts to 45-nm Phenom II and Athlon II was supposed to be the answer to this nagging issue. Both Phenom II and Athlon II families of CPUs deliver significantly improved performance over their predecessors, with lower power consumption and increased frequency headroom (read: overclocking); two issues which Phenom and Athlon never could overcome. In this regard, Phenom II and Athlon II have been unqualified success stories for AMD. The problem is, even with their newer 45-nm processors delivering improved performance, AMD has been forced to continually slash prices on their latest processors as the tit-for-tat price war between AMD and Intel dating all the way back to summer 2006 has continued: just when AMD begins to catch up to Intel in CPU performance, Intel responds with price cuts and cheaper dual and quad-core processors. AMD is then forced to respond to Intel with price cuts of their own."
NoobFeed editor Jay Claassen writes - Nine Sols is one of the more beautifully crafted Souls-like releases for this year but it does come with its flaws that make it a little too unforgiving. It could be that the developers are possibly taking a shot at reimagining the genre with a new twist but that will more than likely throw off many fans of the genre when they discover the randomness in combat.
XDefiant netcode improvements have been rolled out confirmed by the devs, as the Dedsec's Spider-bot ability is being reworked.

Though i agree the truth is that it always sells well and then millions are made in ultimate team.
Any benchmarks yet :O
