Which CPU brand do you choose?

On the one hand AMD seems to be the first to release the latest advances, however Intel is in a much stronger financial position.
I have swayed towards Intel for the processors on the computers I have bought.

AMD are just faster chips. The P4 is too slow because of the large L2 Cache. Since AMD hasnt brokent he 256 mark they are alot faster. I think Intel has learned from their mistake though and brought the L2 Cache from 512 back down to 256.
