AMD vs Intel

Intel or AMD? I voted Intel, seems like they have a huge advantage in terms of speed and power right now.

Intel , clean sweep so far. But i could be bias as i have never owned anything with an AMD in it.

sod intel
amd are more reliable, more stable
use less power
are more efficient
emit less heat
and are generally better
and need the consumers suport more than ever right now due to intel slating them...

AMD, I have only 1 intel... and its 300mhz... but still I just like the way the computer runs atm with a AMD.
My vote goes to AMD... I will always stick to AMD.

LOL, sod Intel?
How are AMD more reliable and stable? Most stability issues, for both, in any recent times are caused by chipsets. Unless of course it's the AMD TLB bug which either makes your CPU perform really badly or causes mega instability of the system. Score Intel?

Most, if not all of the Core2 range use wayyyy less poewr than a near AMD equivalent and they do this by getting more information passed per clock cycle which leads to your next point, more efficient. AMD are trying to ramp up the clock speeds to get more performance and still struggle like hell.
Their 6000+ X2 was creamed by the E6xxx range which ran at slower clocks.
Their Quads are whipped by all of Intels, even after they fixed the TLB with a 'new' range.
All the above means the Intels, at stock, run much cooler and is why they are a clockers fave, a 15% overclock is simple on 'stock' cooling.

AMD are generally better? in the past, without a doubt, no arguments at all. Present? They have a hell of a lot of work to do and releasing a Triple-Core is not the way forward, but we'll see.

When they start having something to support again the people will rally I'm sure.

Oh BTW, I voted Intel

Hmm, some good points there blogoman. I don't consider myself a giant fan of either, but right now Intel has the better Quadcores for sure, they are stable and a breeze to OC with a good mobo and RAM.

Smile Intel!

I voted Intel as well, i could try and research much more info (which i did like long ago) but i am sure we know why exactly we choose one of those while voting, probably AMD voters will have arguments about a comparison!
