[GUIDE] Intel or AMD

in some aspects, you are right. but so is intel. ;]

 

i used to have amd phenom quad core. its good too for a quad.
i use i7 now and its great

 

well of course the i7 will smoke the phenom quad in most cases if you are expecting maximum performance. ;]

 

i have two gaming PCs, 1 runs on 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1.5gig ram and 512Mb GeForce GPU and the other runs on 2.8 GHz Athlon ii X2 with 2Gig ram and 1Gig ATI GPU... my only problem is my AMD PC heats up more faster than my Intel PC... but my AMD PC performs better coz it has better specs... but my intel PC cost a little higher than my AMD including the other parts inside

 

my vote goes to AMD cause im using it for how many years, i had 2 pc's here at home and both pc had same spec but different processor... i usually use the pc having AMD cause it runs so smoothly...

 

Intel is obviously in the lead as far as the best CPU goes atm with their i7 line, however I've been using AMD for a while and I rather like them, especially that their CPUs tend to be cheaper with great performace still, upgraded to a Phenom II X4 965 BE (@3.4ghz) two weeks ago or so for about 150 bucks, pretty happy with it.

Though if I had the money I'd definitely buy a mobo that supports the i7 and get one, dat 4 core hyperthreading as 8.

 

intel i7 proc. ftw

 

i got a very bad comp , i got intel and i lag alot but it's not because of the processor
my brother has a worse processor and runs aion faster =)

but amd sux.
Intel is better lol
i7 ftw -.-"!

 

+1 for intel cause im using it right now and it works fine for me...

 

-.- lol here we go again. like i said it all comes down to the individual product if you read my guide >.>
alright which is better?

Intel pentuim 4
AMD phenom II x6 3.2 GHZ


see? it all depends on the product. ;]

 

intel focuses on performance, amd more on value and energy savings. that's all it comes down to when choosing which way to go, imo.

 

AMD seems to use more power though. in some cases

 

on idle, my phenom II idles at a much lower W compared to an i7 with a similar price point. probably because of cool and quiet technology im guessing
