I have a question to everyone and sort of asking for an opinion...

Which is better...Intel CPU's or AMD CPU's???

I personally work with AMD CPU because i think they are better, and faster...

I have heard from people (from another country outside USA) that AMD are used in game based PC's and are better for playing games, not working with programs and stuff...

While intel aren't good with games, but more power goes into programs and stuff...

I personally use AMD in all my PC's that i built...which is 5, and all laptops that i buy or recommend people to buy...I'm using AMD CPU and everything works from games to programs to anything needed on the computer...

So what's everyone's personal opinions? is Intel better compared to AMD??? or is AMD better compared to Intel???

intel for now.

but then again, amd now owns ati, so there could be some pretty sick things coming out of that.

Intel.

AMD is still playing catch up; around the time they bring out their first 45nm processors, Intel will be launching the 8-core Nehalem, which will pretty much make the question moot.

I don't really have a preference, but I have gone for Intel in the past.

Though AMD processors do have a few things on their Intel counterparts... A better system of Caches is a big one.

i see...ive been recommended AMD to everyone and buying AMD myself...seems to be working very good for me and everyone else...

thanks guys...

It's true that AMD has been playing catch-up the last year or two but, you have to remember, the question of which companies chips are better is based on their top of the line chip. There's a tremendous amount of overlap, especially in the dual core chips.

Intel produces the hands down BEST chips on the market. Their quad core chips are fantastic and put out more processing power than AMDs.

AMD gives you more bang for your buck. For the average consumer looking for a midrange PC or a $100-$200 CPU they'll probably get more out of AMD since the value is better.

Intel has been more stable than AMDs for the most part. And that isn't true for gamers.

A lot of professional gamers you Intel Core 2 Duo.

^True...
Many gamers consider the Intel E8400/8500 to be the premier chip for gaming.

I don't know...
The memory latency on the newer AMD processors has been ahead of their Intel counterparts for a few models now, and that definitely helps with gaming...

Admittedly, I'm not a gamer so my opinion should be taken for what it's worth...but I'm thinking that a dual core that can be oc'd to 4.4GHz would make a pretty mean gaming processor.
