I like AMD more then intel, but since the new conroes, intels are faster so i voted Intel.

Amd. I know it is kind of stupid but hear me out. Get a dual proc that later supports 4x4. Then I can get the same proc later down the road for a much cheaper price but still get big performance gains. I know nothing is certain right now and nobody knows which socket, proc, or types of parts will be compatible with it. Also, if amd DOES yes a big does have reverse hyper-threading enabled somehow then that will be huge. 4 procs all working on one application. The possibilities are endless and probably none of it will be logical because at the time something will have already been better. For me really amd is a personal pick. Stupid yes, I know.

I see absolutely no point in this thread....except for bummed Intel fanboys. Are we going to make a new one every time a new processor comes out?

I will always prefer AMD over Intel as a company. However, I will buy whichever processor is best for my money.

I disagree.

The last poll was made over 3 years ago, and since then peoples views have changed, both companies have made major changes, and so on. A poll from 3 years ago isn't accurate for current reference, and as you can see, the majority of voters have decided to go Intel this time.

i would buy AMD but i already got my equipements in Intel so i cannot go out and just buy a new AMD cpu, i'd have to buy a mobo for it lol anyways my advantage here in Canada is that Intel are way cheaper than AMD and still Intel rocks with my Dual Core and 7900GT i'm getting :

2012 in SM2.0
2009 in HDR/SM3.0
1706 in CPU

4895 in 3DMark 06 with CPU and GPU Stock Clocks

It is by far the best in the lower budget range.
