Ok, not really. I'm just the lead project manager for the web launch. See here and here.
If you take a look at the reviews and specs, you'll get a good idea of the detailed reasons to buy AMD processors and products instead of others--sexiest of all is that they burn cooler and quieter in general than the competition, and in the case of this particular processor are less expensive for the same or better level of performance.
But also, and perhaps most importantly, AMD's the non Wal-Mart of the computer world. If you don't shop at Wal-Mart because of political, social, moral convictions, then you should likely shop AMD for the same ones. AMD's the little guy. Without it, there's no competition for the big guys and they get to charge you--and their business partners--whatever they like. Sometimes that may mean a smaller price for you...but a tiny profit margin or extremely restrictive terms for their partners, which limits competition and makes profitability and maintaining employment numbers harder for them.
So buy AMD already.
