This is kinda similar to the thread 'Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2'
I have always heard that AMD is better for gaming and INTEL for everything else, but now im reading that INTEL has always been better.. Just a little confused as to which is better in various types of situations, like gaming. Lecture me!

Correct, Intel hasn't all ways been the absolute best. AMD actually used to be better at Multi-tasking and gaming until Intel released their Core 2 Duo series. AMD's Dual Cores still offer a ton of speed and the most bang for buck, but when put next to an Intel, the Intel is going to blow it out of the water...generally at both stock and overclocked speeds.
