AMD Vs Intel

*awaits the shovel post* :D My favourite comparison for the 2!

The athlons have a shorter pipeline and can process more data per cycle than a pentium 4.

its like having a pile of coal ,the athlon is the bigger shovel so can move the pile in less shovels

the P4 is the smaller shovel so to move the same ammount of coal it has to move more shovels at a faster pace to move the same ammount.

:D just for you
 
at the moment for PCs I would choose AMD for pretty much the same reasons cited by Concorde.

Only if you encode *a lot* does the p4 get a look in IMO.
 
the age old question.... i sway to AMD as im a gamer and ive always believed AMD performed better for games. my first decent PC was an AMD K6 and ive never looked back...

Bring on the flame war.

Though i was an intel fanboy, now i love amd.

I was never an Intel fanboy, but only bought Intel because I was ignorant and stupid. Now, having actually understood AMD and the fact that cheaper doesn't always mean worse, I have seen the light and thoroughly love AMD.
 
Always bought AMD for the simple reason that for the average user (if there is such a thing) they will do the same, if not better, as intel for less money. AMD tend to have the upper hand atm but that could all change soon, which can only be good news for consumers as competition is what drives manufacturers to produce better products.

So...who's gonna start an Nvidia vs ATI thread:O
 
Intel will one up AMD, then AMD will one up Intel and the it will happen all over again. Thing remains intels have been overpriced for what they are considering they have the majority of the market share and frankly i cant see them dropping the price of the conroe to make it a threat to AMD where bang for buck is concerned.
 
AMD is the better this moment at time, but like satted earlier in hte thread Intel will eventually get one up on AMD, but then after that AMD will get one up on Intel.
But at present AMD rules!!!

IMO AMD always did rule, i guess you know which fan boy i am :D
 
that facts are (backed up by every testing site around) is that the amd dual core beats intel in every application.

thats where things stnad at the moment
 
Intel all the way :D

If your an enthusiast & have the tech know how the recent Intels give almighty performance with the appropriate cooling + high spec ram + psu.

AMD are quicker in games out of the box but when overclocked/tweaked the Intel6 & 9 series CPUs are mighty quick & also better multitaskers.

670J @ 7.6Ghz http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=41696&stc=1&d=1135911731

955XE @ 6.6Ghz http://www.nordiccrew.com/crotale/6609.gif

The extreme 1333-1600 FSBs you can hit with the 955 & 975X chipsets are able to keep up with a Xfire setup. Obviously you need a lot of PSU + exotic cooling but for ultimate performance no matter the cost its gonna be Intel ;)

Then why do you have intel if you admit AMD ar ebetter "out of the box"?

As you don't seem to be overclocking, at least not enough to justify an Intel ;)
