AMD Vs Intel

[micky007]

What do you think is better?

Alot of people say that a AMD Althon 3200+ is better than a Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, was unable to make my mind up what i wanted, so i bought both of them, one for both my pcs.

OMG the people are wrong Intel is WELL FASTER than the AMD.

In what ways would you say faster? what do you use the computers for?

If we're talking about better, I think Intel processors have a balance of power and longevity in their lives. AMD, on the other hand, pushes itself beyond the limit, hence the sheer amount of heat their CPUs generate.


Then again, I could be wrong. I have both a Pentium II and an AMD K62 still working back home. But the latter doesn't work well without a lot of ventilation.

The age old fight is here once again.

Both the processors have plus and minus points for them. I personally find that AMD are alot better at gaming then pentium, but in return pentium are much better at multimedia.

I usually go for bang per buck. I perfer AMD because what they offer for my cash is alot more cost effective. When i buy a pentium i know i will be paying higher proces for the same thing basically a AMD does

Yes, the main thing AMD's cache the memory and are faster onto the other parts of the computer so are faster on playing high-memory applications such as games.

However Intel is better at multi-tasking, so depends what you use it for.

Considering the price difference between the 2 I would go for AMD every time. There is no significant performance advantage with Intel CPUs that could warrant the price hike.

Well i agree, AMD is better price and more features.. plus if you tag along ASUS premium boards the combo becomes a killer.

However AMD is good for places with low temperature.. its not good for tropical countries.. coz of its over heating...

I can't run AMD for hrs without air conditioning.. thats the only reason i went in for an INTEL.

Good thought their maybe they should think about that as I could see that their loosing out on a grat deal of income.

They did think about it... and came out with cool and quiet technology.. but that isnt good enough.. they need to further enhance their capabilities...

Well that might explain why I have an Intel. Still, some of my friends who are more into computers prefer and use AMD.
