Amd or Intel ,which one is better..?

My system powered by AMD and it is well. It also not pinch your pocket.

Oh my god.... I just had to comment. You guys are commenting on the state of things about 4 years ago. Intel is thoroughly thrashing AMD with their latest processors. Not only that, AMD is in a lot of trouble as a company because Intel has been killing them ever since the Core 2 series of chips. What's really killing AMD is that once Intel took the performance lead back they didn't stop. They moved on to their Penryn chips which used a smaller more efficient 32 nanometer process while AMD was still struggling to get from a 90 nanometer process to a 65. Now, while AMD is still struggling to catch up Intel is coming out with their Nehalem chips (iCore 7) at the end of the year which will be 32 nanometers! I saw people commenting on Athlon XP's verses Pentium 4's. What the hell!? Those were computers that were sold 4 years ago or so. So yeah, if you are talking old systems from back in the day, then yeah maybe, Intel got a little lax back then. But the situation is DRAMATICALLY different now. These days, anything an AMD chip can do, an Intel chip can do much better.

Intel has a brand name and good reputation so most often we go for Intel. It has a good will and so is bettter but most people don't really know why is Intel better then amd and this discussion surely will shed some light on it. The major advantage of intel over amd is the heating problem. The processing speed of amd is good but it suffers from this heating problem hence the system restarts automatically when it get over heated which may result in loss of important data but intel really has a very advanced cooling technology for it's processors and the heat sinks absorbs the heat and doesn't allow it to overheat This is the major advantage of intel over amd and why people prefer it. other then this Amd too is a very good processor. I haven't used the amd for sometime now and have herad that they have solved this problems in their latest ones. If this thing is solved I don't think amd has any further disadvatanges

Intel has been much better as compared to amd....the main reason could be that intel has always kept up the quality in its stuff...you can trust these guys blindly...

Hmm...this is a definite. AMD chips are better for games. I've tried and tested it. Even for minigames like Diner Dash, my AMD Athlon XP 1.2ghz with only 128mb ram runs games better than my Dell Optiplex with Intel Pentium 4 2.4 ghz with 256mb ram and Compaq with Intel Pentium 4 2.0ghz with 600+mb ram. I think it differs with the Core series. But yeah, AMD cores are cheap, and that's the best thing.

I think Intel's quality is better than Amd, but Amd has a better cost-effective.

those who have enough money to throw away should use intel. all else should AMD. lol,thats what i listned about these processors, i have no technical knowledge about them, but still if you compare the prices, the intel processor of 2.2GHZ will cost approx equal to 3GHZ of amd. so why wouldnt one buy faster processor,thats what i thought and bought AMD. and i am living happily with it. thanks

AMD is much cheaper and it has a fine quality, but Intel has more variety and most software developers create their software based on it. The reason is that AMD specialized in producing video cards (ATI) and it is good at that, the processors are just side products. On the other hand Intel specialty is processors production.

intel is better in Multi Media.i think you can get a better performance when you play a HD movie with intel.but amd is better in gaming.

I always used Amd for no reason,lol~Say since my first pc 6 years ago.Maybe I don't like the the brand of Intel or sth like that.lol~~I think both of them are ok,they're seizing the dominated market after all.

I'll go for AMD. AMD is cheaper that Intel. also amd have good graphic. the only thing disadvantage of AMD is it release more heat than Intel but that not a big deal as we can put a big fan to cool it down
