If I write an asembly program to a one CPU, will it also run on the other brand?
What CPU is faster?Intel or amd (let's say both are 2Ghz processors. )

Each may have proprietary op codes, but for the most part they are bit-compatible. They both support the x86 instruction set. As for which one is faster, the answer is that "it depends". There are a lot of factors other than CPU core speed that impact performance, such as cache size/speed, memory bus speeds, CPU version, etc.

Did you mean there are different OPCODES for different processors? :O
