- INTEL all the way!
- Intel
- whichAMD. And its also cheaper.
- Intel by MILES.
- intel hands down, i have experienced both and quite frankly amd sucked, i switched back to an intel
- Intel has been edging out AMD in the performance department ever since the release of the core 2 processors. Anything previous to that AMD has some advantages, as well as Intel, with AMD typically being better for gaming, and Intel dominating the business market. As it stands now the core 2 processors are the best in both departments.
Check out the CPU charts on Tom’s Hardware to see proof of what I’m saying. Link below:

p.s. AMD has some new tricks up their sleeve that we will be testing the waters with soon. They have recently merged with ATI so we can expect to see some impressive gaming platforms in the near future. I’m also interested in the SPIDER platform… so don’t give up on AMD just yet, but if you are buying right now, I’d go intel core 2.
- It depends. People will tend to worship one or the other but in reality all of the other components will likely make more of a difference than whether you have an AMD or Intel processor. Just avoid the budget processor if possible, like Intel’s Celeron or AMD’s equivalent (Sempron, I think?)
- AMD. I perfer AMD as its very reliable and at great value. The last computer i had was AMD and it lasted for 8 years compared to the intel which lasted about 3.5 years and both of my computers at that time had very similar specifications. But i dont mind getting a Intel as well but the only problem is that its too expensive and its not always reliable but i have to say that intel does perform a bit better than AMD.
So overall AMD = 65%
Intel = 35%
- As of now (Jan 2008), Intel is better in terms of performance but AMD is better for performance per price. AMD and Intel are identical to a human… but if you compare them in benchmark tests, it shows that Intel is better.
In the future… things might change…
Currently, Intel is in the lead. I think AMD will someday pass Intel and lead the CPU market. Then Intel strikes back and leads again… Then the cycle starts over again….. Well, this is my prediction….. Or maybe AMD will always be known for their BEST performance per price. Who knows, only time will tell.
