Intel or AMD CPU?

Re: Intel or AMD

Oh, ok, seems to be that Intel is a lot better I thought AMD was the gaming one. But anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Re: Intel or AMD

Not sure about recent models of AMD CPUs, but from what I've seen many Intel processors tend to have a larger L2 cache

Re: Intel or AMD

I bought my E8400 Intel Core 2 Duo and I haven't regretted it. :] I suggest Intel if you're an avid gamer like me.

Re: Intel or AMD

i would say

AMD office use
Intel Gaming & OCing

Re: Intel or AMD

I love the new AMD Phenom Black with the Spider platform. Everything integrates beautifully and runs super fast. Right now Intel has the edge on speed. I think it's mostly due to driver support. For my money, I would not even think about going Intel. Grab a Phenom and Spider MB. 4X Crossfire for gaming! Ridiculous! Overclocking is a breeze as well. There is a great article in the April issue of CPU Magazine comparing the two platforms, check it out.

Re: Intel or AMD

AMD can't afford to increase the L2 cache. But they do have more L1 cache

Re: Intel or AMD

Well, I play all the latest titles on my AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual Core 5,000+ lol what a name, it's 2.6GHz, I'm gonna overclock it to 2.8 though cause it never gets hotter than 45 C hehe. So, AMD have issues with heat do they? This thing cost £90 and I've never had problems. AMD FTW!

Re: Intel or AMD

I prefer to have an amd because i know somebody that bought one of the intel dual core processors and he hates it.

Re: Intel or AMD

45C is kinda toasty for 2.8GHz
My 6400+ @ only hits 41C @ 3.5GHz (250x14) on load.

One of the reasons, my guess, is that Intel runs cooler than AMD because of the difference in architecture, with a 45nm die, that's a lot of room for surface cooling verses AMD's 90nm die (dual cores).

Re: Intel or AMD

Currently I'm running a rather old P4 2.2Ghz (was 1.7GHz a few months ago), I've been very happy with its performance and stability so far, but for my next build, I'm leaning towards AMD for cost.

 

[chewett]

i would like to try amd and probably will later when i built two pc's and look at their speeds and such.

but i am running an intel at the moment

 

[Jords]

Re: Intel or AMD

Yes i use a Intel

Re: Intel or AMD

Anyways I only buy the CPUs that I know someone has used and they had a good experience using them. I'm very... paranoid in buying new any computer parts that I've never heard of my friend's using. Cause I mean if I buy it and it sucks, then I can't return it that's just... annoying.

For me
AMD => Great Cost for a decent CPU
Intel => More Bang for a lot of bucks

Re: Intel or AMD

I have three computers and all of the use AMD processors, I've never had any problems with them and they all perform really well. I have never used Intel processors so I can't really comment on how they compare.

At the moment, Intel Core 2 Duos and Quads are rocking all the way if .erformance is concerned.....But AMD prcocessors are cheap.

AMD was pawning Intel Pentium 4 a couple of years ago with their Athlon 64s but at the moment Intel is doing good.

Also, Intel processors are an overclocker's heaven......

AMD really need to come up with some Intel killer CPU.....

I've my eyes of the AMDs Fusion platform which is going to feature CPU & GPU on the same dye. It is considered the last hope of AMD to rock again if they don't develop an Intel killer processor.....

Anyways, ATI is doing good if graphic cards are concerned.

EDIT:
I'm an AMD fan, but if looking at the current scenario, Intel pawns AMD completely.....

If we talk about the History, AMD's Athlon 64 were totally pawning Intel's Pentium 4s like the way today Intel is pawning AMD.....

But I don't want Intel to have a complete monoply over the processor market. AMD should come up with some good processor that competes with Intel Quads. Anyways, AMD's Fusion platform (GPU & CPU on the same die) looks promising.

 

[Travian Wiki Network]

I like to use Intel processors.

 

[Submariner]

I have used both in single processor style and I perfer the Intel. I recently upgraded to an Intel quad core and truely enjoy the performance boost it provides.

I don't know why this is a questionable.

I've got AMD4000+ at the moment but according to all hardware reviews intel has rained supreme for a very long time.

I'm planning to get E8400 soon, the 45nm are amazing to overclock. I don't really trust how far Phenom is going to go.

 

[like2program]

Intel is the only way to go when you play games like Crysis.
It just preforms better because of it's quad cores.

 

[Smith6612]

About that, Crysis by default is designed to hog the CPU when doing things like Physics, but if you want to ease up the amount of CPU Crysis uses, there is some variable in the game config that will turn the CPU generated physics off, making the game run loads better when you've got a lot of things going on. I found a tip for that on YouTube.
