AMD or Intel

[Matt Reiland]

I have many friends at Intel (In Arizona Fab Plants) and I asure you they are not a step behind AMD. In fact ask AMD who likes to reverse engineer chips and rename them. Intel has a strict buisness plan that allows them to make money on each chip set. When the demand dips, notice how a new chip is released. I have heard Intel has multiple next generation chips available now, it just doesn't make sense to release them at this time when there is no competition for them.

For me? I still remember the days when Intel compatible didn't always mean 100% compatible, companies like Cyrix and AMD. These days I think they are totally interchangeable but I still like having Intel Inside just like some people like to wear nike's because they can.

I just voted intel because i've never used amd.

AMD all the way. On computer I have now, I saved about $200 by going with the AMD chipset. It may run a little hotter, but I don't care..I run my computer with the side off anyway. I have an AMD T-Bird 950MHz at home and am running an AMD 3000+ on my computer.

I love my P4 and it's HT. I love being able to run UT, Musicmatch, Word, and multiple IM windows without lag.

I have never really seen the advantage to using AMD. I know AMD is a good processor, but for high-end kind of applications and games, i prefer Intel. I just dont like the idea of running something that might stress the processor and worry about overheating.
