This is a useless topic. More people use Intel processors because Intel sells more processors. That doesn't mean that Intel is better or worse than AMD. It simply means that Intel sells more processors.

Currently, AMD processors outperform their Intel performance counterparts in just about every market segment, and for almost all computing tasks.

But you need to identify the appropriate processor type for the purpose it is aimed at performing. Just identifying if it is Intel or AMD is not enough.

I agree with you Catweazle. This question has benn discussed in many sites on many occasions anyway. Its getting old and too general as a question.

sorry guys, just wanna know your side but anyways thanks for all your comments

Tell us what tasks you wish to use the PC for, and what budget you have available for it, and we should be able to advise what processor would be best to use.

im planning to buy a new one for my fedora core4 but doesnt cost much...is AMD be ok?

What sort of applications are you planning to run? That's more to the point than what OS you plan to run.

im planning to use it as a home server....just for personal use.

If you are looking for a server cpu, the AMD Opteron is better than the Intel Xeon but if you want a normal cpu, im not sure if AMD64 is better than Intel P4 for servers.

Ya go for AMD, checkout their site www.amd.com
