I think there should be a CPU designated Section with sub categories, "Intel" and "AMD" just like the Video card section.

Just a thought.

I think this suggestion was brought up several times already... if I recall right, there's no separation because its demand isn't justified or something along those lines. There aren't many topics on specific CPUs that would justify separate forums as there are on GPUs.

Most of the CPU treads are either about overclockign which go in the Overclocking section, or "which CPU should I get" which belongs into the System Builders Advice.

I dont even think the split GPU sections are warranted anymore. I hardy see a need for 2 cpu/gpu sections.

The split GPU sections are warranted because of the differences on the software side of things.
