AMD vs INTEL?

Do you prefer using AMD or INTEL processors? 8)

depends on the budget ;)

I like Intel though :P

I've had good experiences with both. It all depends how much money I have to work with. Right now I'll be using amd for a while since I've already invested with an am3 board. Come upgrade overhaul time though we'll see whats on the market.

I have used AMD mostly so I prefer them. Duckman5

ive used intel my whole life so i cant vote ;)

When it comes to CPU's I prefer AMD. I don't have a preference between ATI and nvidia however.

Right now, Intel is on top. all their i3, i5 and i7 really trumpet out AMD. k0r3aN_pR1d3

It doesn't matter for me, but I went with AMD because it was cheaper and was a powerful quad core cpu for less than $200

Intel's not getting my money for my CPU upgrade. Just too darn expensive.

JUst so you know Core 2 duo in test was E8400 E0 Stepping : Phenom II X4 965 C3 : and Core i7 was a Core i7 920 C0 Stepping


I have E8600 which just come in one varient : E0 Stepping so i can oc at around 4.3ghz if i want tough i haven't perform oc Yet cause i'm stock 3.3Ghz and according test IT PRETTY good ;) just came to mythbusted this thing about cpu preference :)

I am sure they will be devistated :P.

Picked up my i7 920 D0 at Microcenter today, so Intel gets my money again for the next 2-3 years. For $217.50 after tax it's also probably the cheapest cpu I have ever purchased, so even though AMD has some great prices, I think Intel still offers great bang for buck too unless you're on a very tight budget.

Both Intel and AMD has specialties in their products but i guess Intel would be the way to go for me.

I've only experience the low end on each side, you know, Celerons and Semprons. From my experience thusfar, I prefer AMD by a long shot. The 4 year old computer in the other room has a 1.8GHz Sempron 3200+ which outperforms my 2.0GHz Celeron on most anything.mercuryblade09

I'm an AMD fanboy.

my last 3 CPUs including the one ive got now have been AMD. before that i had several intels, P1, P2, P4(478 socket), P4(775 socket). i go with AMD for there good price but i am privy to i7s dominance on pure power, if your willing to pay the price you get the performance.

Depends on the budget i have to work with, at the moment i'ld go for an AMD X2 then unlock it to a quad.markop2003

At the moment i prefer Intel because for the last couple of years they have have been making the best CPU's out there...but if AMD suddenly started making the best CPU's then i would prefer AMD.

AMD is better for price to performance, but intel's cpus are better imo

I prefer AMD, but I picked up my first Intel this year (i7 920) as I got it dirt cheap. Ya know, you can read benchmark after benchmark and see Intel is usually the leader. If you are all for the numbers, go intel. If you want a heck of a bang for your buck and honestly not noticemuch of adifference, go AMD. I judge my CPUs by real world use and make my decision from there.

I'm not brand loyal. I just go with the best bang for the buck. If you would of asked me before AMD's new line of Phenom II's and AMD processors came out I would of said Intel. Reigning champ was the Core 2 Duo line... Phenom I line wasn't up to par... then the Phenom II's came out.

Bang for your buck a Phenom II is still champ in my books. The new intel line just seems too expensive for what you get in return.

I'm using a Intel E7300 at the moment which is pretty good. The only other chip I've used personally is a Althon. Ran at 2.00GHz and was a hot little bugger.

I use both platforms, on different computers. AMD has a better price point. I like them both, though.

Gaming is all I do so straight up I'm an AMD guy love my 720 x3 BE

My whole group of friends converted to my setup after I got it lol. We have 4 rigs all with Asus AM3 mobos, 4GIG DDR3 Gskill, and an AMD Tri/Quad core and it's freaking awesome.

Neither, I use my home-made processor, built with common household items!

Why on earth would it have any cache that doesnt make sense since is probably manure powered :D
