AMD vs Intel

[Gary_B]

Just out of curiosity, what CPU do you use/belevie is the best?

I'm currently using an AMD athlonxp 1600+, old I konw!

But I'm upgrading to the Core 2 Duo when I get all my parts through.

I've never had a problem with AMD, I have been convinced Intel piss all over AMD.

What are your veiws?

Everyone will say Intel......

got a reasonably new pc with an intel core 2 duo processor and just got a laptop with an AMD turion 64 x2 processor and i have to say the AMD seems to be the better by far

 

[Luke2006]

AMD all the way for me.

Since building my own I've always gone for AMD simply because of the price. As long as you're getting the performance you'd expect then I wouldn't lose any sleep over what might be better.

The Athlon was strong against the P4, but the C2D is the best desktop processor right now no question. The Athlon is now an elderly design, so AMD will either have to compete on price or bring a new architecture to the table. I have moved from an Opteron to a C2D recently and have no regrets. Not to mention, the C2D is hugely overclockable

I have just got a Core 2 Quad Q6600 so I have to say Intel

Depends on the task.
General PC work, Intel is the best choice at the moment (Core2Duo).

i use an intel c2d e6600

intel are the best chips around atm, fact.

 

[V1NNY]

core 2 quad

The Intel Core2's are currently the best cpu you can go for. The AMD architecture is getting on a bit now and they are working on a new CPU but until that comes along the Intel is the best choice.

If you want to pay over the odds buy an Intel...or a Mac.

had AMD for years. no problems, but moved to Intel and it runs soooo much cooler, i can have my fans on 40% and my pc is virtualy silent. i had about 12 fans in the case and a decent CPU fan on the AMD and it took some cooling. far too loud for leaving the pc on all 24/7

Im guessing relating to my computer parts thread that Intel should now be my choice to power my computer!

what an intel psu?

 

[bigmaddaz]

you know what i meant ho bag!

 

[BioHzrd]

Ive got the Athlon 64x2 6000+ Good chip im overclocks to 3.25 no probs..

 

[Gary_B]

Thanks for the replies. It looks to me like Intel have the upperhand at the monent, so I'm goin to go with my first choice which is the C2D. Unless anyone thinks its worth waiting for AMD to catch up and become ahead of the game again?

Nah go with the Intel IMO. Cant complain for the price. Very overclockable as well if you ever want some more power.
