Quote by HoltBring out the guns. I hope no
one is as close minded on this subject as
some of my friends. Every time I mention I use Intel they start
throwing things at me
I'm hoping people can give me an unbiased opinion on which one to go
for.
Intel is a very solid workhorse. But AMD gives you a better bang for the buck.
Some will say that Intel is faster, some will say that AMD is. It depends on
what type of applications you're running, because each company focuses on
different aspects of computer operation. I've generally had AMD in the past,
but right now I've got an Intel, and I'm really enjoying it. But I wouldn't
hesitate to get AMD if I had the choice again. I just wanted to try something
new.
amd!!! Rocks! its really good and have good prices! i have me a AMD Athlon 64
3000+ its at 2.0ghz but its really at 3.0ghz! might OC it and have it at 3.4!
Many friends of mine biuld computers for a living, and they will only use AMD
cpus. Becuase they are cheaper, and out perform intel cpus for the price. I just
biult an amd based computer, and its so great. my barton 2500 which runs at 1.83
ghz outperfroms a friend of mines pentium 4 which runs at 3.0 ghz. AMD is the
best
Relative speaking, AMD is by far the best, now with 64 bit technology for PC's,
what's not to like. I have had experience with many processors and AMD always
out performs Intel. It's all in the architecture. However, even though I dislike
mac, the new G5's are the fastest personal computers available. They're not
cheap either. Anyway, I usually recommend an AMD CPU over an intel.
For my desktop i have an Athlon... it's bloody loud, so unless you plan to get
another fan or cooling system go get a intel (I could be wrong the athlon i have
IS pretty old).
For all my laptops I have centrino and they are beautiful. The ultra light
processor (running at 1gig) is excellent for those micro laptops that would have
previously run on Transmeta Crusoe chips (they're bad by the way! )

intel, AAMD is just too damn expensive and i am poor
umm...
from what ive seen, AMD is cheaper than intel and from my personal experiences i
prefer AMD over intel any day and i cant wait to get my hands on an athlon 64 x2
i use amd. amd has lower power consumption and is cooler than pentiums. I think
lots of benchmark tests showed that athlon 64's out-perform pentium 4s in games
and other everyday applications. But pentium's are very good at multitasking
because of its HT technology.
Since I popped in a K6-2 400Mhz CPU into a motherboard intended for Intel CPUs
(using a socket converter), I've stayed by AMD's side. Not only are their CPUs
more cost effective than Intel's, but they're just as fast at lower clock speeds
and run cooler too. I don't think I'd ever switch back to Intel, I tried the
"cost effective" Celeron and just didn't like it's performance in
office applications as compared to a much lower clocked Athlon.
Well, I have a few AMDs (lol), and they're running okai~
They were also pretty cheap, which is nice.
But one of them overheated and like, melted or something, so I'm not too happy,
really x.x
If I were to buy a computer myself (these are all family PCs), I'd probably get
an Intel. I'd get a lower range one, but I'm not too bothered about specs, since
I don't really do anything that's too taxing on the system itself
AMD all the way. Still running with a 2200+ and it still kicks ass. Probably
get a new one soon but for now, It's still fast enough for prety much
everything.
*readies a table to throw at Holt*
Just kidding.
I
choose AMD.

i have AMD and i will stick with AMD even if im upgrading the PC will pick AMD cause it cheap and is good for what things i run on the pc
i think i am using AMD
i agree. and personally, i go for amd.:)
amd!!! Rocks! its really good and have good prices! i have me a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ its at 2.0ghz but its really at 3.0ghz! might OC it and have it at 3.4!
Currently I would perfer the upcoming AMD Athlon X2 for desktops, but for laptops I would go with Intel Pentium M for sure.
I don't really care which company dominates. As long as both exist and remain competitive, only consumers will benefit in the end.
Work: Intel
Play: AMD
You can't get one better than the other! They are for two different things! :-)
Too bad Intel is marketing to the gamer market though :-P

G5 is faster because the computer architecture is different, it is more suitable

Amd my Sister has a Intel and she has problem's monthly
Intel is the best. I have always known AMDs to overheat *thats why my friends computer always breaks down!*
AMD is the best. I'm using AMD fx-55 fast, easy working and the best either gaming or grapgic programes
Y'think?

amd 4lyfe!!!
much cheaper and much better
they
cpus never failed me ;]
AMD....
but Intel is not too bad...
AMD is soo much better than Intel. The Athlon64 X2 Dual-core just came out!!!
jhujhiti you dog!
AMD all the way. Still running with a 2200+ and it still kicks ass. Probably get a new one soon but for now, It's still fast enough for prety much everything.
