I can't see a button to 'vote'.
My son built my computer for me about 4 years ago, and I seem to recall got an AMD something or other.

intel is more of multi core processors mostly being stable and built with good quality and most amd users get a single core and over clock it's bus. and you need to sign in to vote if you havent figured that out? duh UT

Im an AMD faithful, but they are just being battered left right and centre by Intel. They recently launched a true quad core cpu which was still based on the K7 architecture and it just doesn't cut the mustard Sad

Intel have the market by the short and curlies atm, and come next month when i get my bonus ill be getting rid of my FX-60 in favour of a nice shiny Q9550 mmmmm i can already feel the speed lol

An AMD Athlon here... it's a.. er.. XP2200 or something, about 1.8GHz if I remember rightly. It's getting on a bit now, had it about four years. Since buying it I've upgraded the graphics, bought a bigger hard drive etc.. it still does what I want, so I'll use it until it blows up before getting another.

I jusr read some pages on the new Intel Wolfdale E8200. AMD is going to take a battering for a couple of more years this looks like. This is a new 45nm unlike the 65 or so for the quads that AMD are making. If AMD dont pull their stuff together soon it is going to ahe trouble competing as only the hardcore fanboys will be buying their stuff and getting laughed at for supporting a technology that is not up to spec. The new spider playfor that they have looks interesting.

I cant believe that AMD cant get their quads past the 2ghz barrier. Intell's new chips have gone past 4ghz with no problems and there is talk of reaching 5ghz with a proper cooling solution. The trouble for them is having to apply so much voltage to keep the gates open that it is overheating the chip to above 60 degrees.

I am still going to buy AMD but dont know for how much longer i can do this when i a obviously buying technology that is not cutting the mustard

Personally Ill go intel,but if you want something dirt cheap that will do the job there's nothing wrong with AMD it does what its supposed to.

Intel However is faster has ALOT more overclocking headroom (ex my Q6600 runs at 3.4ghz per core instead of 2.4) now if your willing to spend more on good ram, a more expensive motherboard(ex. P35 chipset) and slightly more on CPU, for overclocking , intel wins hands down the smallest E2140 outperforms amds 6000+ once overclocked hands down Smile,its as simple as that.

Aslo at stock speeds amd phenom on most applications still loses to a Q6600 and a Q6600 doesn't require a more expensive mother board(amd needs am2+) to get to its full performance it will work on any newer LGA 775 motherboard.

heres an interesting one for all you that think intel are better...

i am currently running a 3.2 gig intel processor, 2 gig ddr400 + a 512agp gfx card... on a benchmark program my old system kicked it's ass...

my old system was an AMD xp2600 with the same 2 gig ddr400 and 512agp gfx card...

if intel are so wonderfull, how come a 5yr old chip still kicks it's ass... Confused

intel are better for multi-tasking, basicly office related pc's.. if you want performance, amd in the answer.

Depends on the program and depends on what graphics card your running Wink

Lats say your using 3d mark to test your pcs your old pc had a ATI X800 agp 512MB gfx card and your new pc has a Geforce 8400gs 512mb the old one will get a better score Smile

Other things also matter like what version of the softwere your using(3d mark 2003 will give a far better score than 3dmark 06 Wink ) to compare to what OS are you running ect...
