Everyone tells me that AMD is better while others tell me Intel is better. Yet no-one can compare 2 cpu between intel & amd that are available 2day, handle graphical rendering and video editing and will be ready when the move to 64bit is here.

Voted AMD. For my reasoning see my comments in your other topic

In my opinion, I dont think it's fair to compare Intel and AMD without specifying what purpose it would be used for. Like I said in your other thread, they both have their flaws.

Here's a rather good review of the newly released Pentium 4 3.8Ghz chip, the lowest rated dual-core Pentium chip, and comparisons with AMD chips.

You'll notice that in single core applications, the 3.8GHz Pentium is still outperformed by the Athlon64 3500+ But there's a lot of informtion in the article and it's worth a read.
