I personally like the fastness and quality of Intel and I think that they are an allaround better company.

I think I´ve got intell

so I think Ill go for that one

AMD,,, even Dell is going to use AMD processors,,so Intel has too make some serious plans..

Intel

i had a sort of topic like this a while ago...
but hey why not

i'd go for AMD , cause i play games alot , and they're much cooler and more quiet

that's def not true.

... and neither is that

Processors don't make noise dude

bought a new PC... AMD

i have a noisy pc who is the noisy there ? .. the cooler or what ?

^^ Yup, fans and hard disks are what make pcs noisy.

indeed... my new one got a pretty quiet cooler

.. i must have a sh*t pc

also some gpu <--videocard . coolers can make some damn noise.. .. and my power supply did make a lot of noise.. have a Zahlmann now.. it is almost quite!!!

I'd say AMD cos they are better value, wish they'd sort out their naming for processor speeds though, how come an AMD Athlon 64 3500 actually runs at 2.2GHz? It was all much simpler before when a processor's name indicated its actual speed. Just another marketing ploy I guess.

no you probebly have a massive fan. have you opened up your comp? It probebly takes up a lot of the comp (if you have a dell).

For all you extreme gaming nerds out there who are hardcore fans of AMD you be in for a shock when AMD goes out of buisness. Dell is using AMD's cause there cheap. Now back to hardcore gaming. If your a hardcore gamer and you have an extra $1100 to spend, you might want to check out Intle Extreme Edition. Fasts gaming processor on the market and it comes with liquid cooling so you know its beast.

AMD They made the first windows based 64-bit processor much more stable imo.
you didnt put the apple processor what ever the hell they use i forget.

Happy AMD-user for 4 years now.

amd

AMD for normal user

The default Intel Pentium 4 fan is just crap, way too noizy I love my Zalman CPU-fan

AMD and Intel produce great CPU's, it's very difficult to pick a winner. It just depends on where you're using the PC for (office vs. gaming).

only AMD

standard AMD fan sucks even harder.. could hear it downstairs.. and i don't lie now

Apple is putting Intels into their comps now.

If you want a good gaming comp you should go for a alienware alx if you got the money to spend they are ridiculous

my buddy spent almost $1800 on his and when he he still wants to upgrade it. i'm getting his old motherboard and video card from it.

bought another one ofcourse

I consider it ...

I don't give a **** as long as my computer is fast enough

girls love AMD

i'm sure they do

I have an intel but I dont think they are much good for making tunes they just cant hack plugins I will be getting an AMD next time

I wonder what is this whole section for. There already is a spam one...

He's definitely right, the newest Athlon64 chips run much cooler than the newest Pentium 4 chips. Overheating is a big issue with the Prescotts, and since they need much larger thermal solutions to keep the temperatures down, noise goes up. Even with the older AthlonXPs, only a poorly configured system may overheat, and that's not the fault of the processor.



For marketing, yes, but a ploy? That's inaccurate. People who don't know that more MHz is not necessarily better will say, "oh, that Athlon64 3500+ is only 2.2GHz, that Celeron D at 2.4GHz must be better!" Megahertz isn't the indicator of performance anymore (AMD's architecture allows more work done per single MHz), and AMD's nomenclature accurately describes the processor in question.



Fanboyism and faulty knowledge at it's best. AMD is actually selling more processors than Intel right now, and AMD doesn't have the benefits of Dell being the biggest customer. AMD is not going out of business anytime soon, and with the way things are going now, Intel really needs to get their act together before things fall apart. The Intel Extreme Edition is slower than both the Athlon 64 FX-57 and the dual-core 4800+ in many application, yet costs much more money. It doesn't come with "liquid cooling", but will need a large thermal solution to keep things cool compared to the flagship AMD chips.



You haven't heard the new Athlon64 default thermal solutions yet. Since they run so cool (Cool & Quiet helps even more), the fans don't need to be very loud. I will agree that the older AthlonXP thermal solutions were pretty loud. The Intel Prescotts, on the other hand...



Nonsense. Although they do build a very good gaming machine, they are very overpriced. I can build a better computer for less money. You're paying for the name with Alienware products.



People, if you don't know the facts, don't make blanket statements. I know the difference between the two competing products to make an informed decision, and for most people today, the Athlon64 offers a better solution to their computing needs.
