Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2

Lomandriel · 08-03-2007, 01:40 PM

OK speed wise/power their will never be a clear victor out of AMD ANd intel, someday someone will always unleash something even more powerful.

However AMD is on average more cheaper, and for people who actually do care for spending money its a real good alternative. WHichever way you go they're all built good anyway. This is my first personal computer (that i can actually technically call myn) and im still using a 3 yr old(should be 3y rs any month now) AMD athlon xp 2500+... other comps have always used AMD and whenever we've replaced the cpu its never broken.. we just needed to upgrade the whole comp eg: mobo needed to be replaced so the cpu had to go since they dont fit together...

So yeah the point... Intel or AMD, whichever you go we can always expect quality, power etc. Who wins in power, I dont know and dont care

ALl i know is AMD's are still the leading low price leader and its not like their CPU's dont pack enough power for the average user , not to mention its price...

Intel currently has the best performing series of processors on the market though..

I go for the AMD.
AMD has always been, and will be for a quite a while longer the underdog - this has been the case regardless of performance.

This is because Intel boasts much greater ability to research, produce and develop chips because it has so much experience/infrastructure/technology/cash with that regard, while AMD has always come out with great products with a better and more innovative design/arcitecture for their chips, and at better prices.

If I remember rightly from what I read and correct me if I am wrong, PowerPC's outside of the PC market are used in Nintendo Gamecubes & Wii's, Xbox 360's and PS3's. Or at least they have some sort of involvement with them so there not as ancient or as crappy as you seem to assume. Although don't quote me on that because I'm not 100% sure if that's right or not. I think they are also used in the Power Mac G5 which are fairly decent desktop computers.

:: Edit ::

After having read a Wiki post that someone linked to in another thread, it appears that PowerPC processors are also used to some extent in the Blue Gene computers. Which are supposably the best super computers in the world to date

Rove.
