AMD vs INTEL

[Facade]

because you guys will argue over anything!

i like intel

because you guys will argue over anything!

*sigh*

[Facade]

its actually a joke from teh 4chanz

though people here seem to argue a lot >~<

[caprixsnare]

I'm AMD lets be friends :D

[ExoBassTix]

people here seem to argue a lot >~<

You're encouraging it ^-^

Anyways, I have Intel.

[Tasorrog]

INTEL ofc, AMD can't made proper CPU's only APU

[Captain Ironhelm]

bottom line: both are comparable, so get what's cheaper.

I don't see the point in a thread that its only purpose is to poke people into fighting.

[itroitnyah]

AMD is good for if you want lots of horsepower cheap, and Intel is good if you want a lot more horsepower for more expensive.

[Motivfs]

Nothing against AMD, but I have Intel so I'm just going to go and click Intel..

[FLAOFEI]

I have a laptop, and no real know how when it comes to processors... so...
I didn't really chose the processor...
I have an AMD, and it works fine... So AMD :/

i too have amd (second hand laptop that was free) im noticing a lot of stutters in games that i dont usually see with intel. when i build my desktop im going for intel so i chose intel :P

[Conchetupony]

In my little experience, Intel seems to have far better performance in CPU-intensive applications such as gaming, and audio production. Used CPUs with roughly similar clock speeds and same core amounts iirc

ive always wanted to get into 3d modeling but until now (first laptop with a graphics card and cpu that isnt from the 80's) all of my computers couldn't handle it (shitty cpus etc)

so do xeon actually make good work station processors or will the i7 i plan on getting be enough?

[vladnuke]

i7 will definetly be enough for anything you want

[Tasorrog]

Xeon is mainly made for servers, and can't fitt a "normal" motherboard.
And get an i7 and not a i5, right now it might not make such difference many applications liking gaming etc.
But when the new consoles are out things will be ported the make better uae off all the cores/threads

[Jokeblue]

I don't even know the difference. I'm as dumb as a rock when it comes to the technical side of computers

a neat little guide to cpu's i found it helpful you might too

no problem! glad to help!

I was personally recommended Intel for music production by people who's opinion's I value greatly.

ooh thanks for the link greatly appreciated

[Ocular]

You never said that it had to be the CPU. I'm gonna go ahead and pick AMD because Intel's default chipsets suck major ass for graphics.

[Facade]

i agree but unless im on a laptop im most likely gonna be using a dedicated graphics card so it doesnt bother me much

AMD used to be much better than Intel, which is where a large majority of their fans (especially gamers) came from.

Nowadays, Intel is just simply demolishing the power game, and (for the most part) most AMD CPUs are underpowered compared to Intel CPUs in the same price range.

One thing AMD does have an advantage on however, is multi-threading technology. Unfortunately, most applications now are just starting the take advantage of multi-core CPUs, so for the majority of applications and games, an Intel with fewer CPUs will perform better than an AMD with more CPUs.

Once all applications support multi-core CPUs, I think AMD will make a comeback, and I'll gladly switch back over, but for now, Intel provides better performance, and I'll choose a CPU that gives me the best performance vs what brand it is.
