hi everyone
which is the fast processor : inter or amd
and what is the diff between core 2 duo & duel core & pentium d .
and which one to buy : intel core 2 duo or any amd latest one ?
actually i want have the very fast and best processor in the world.

pls halp me .

thanks in advance.
 
You are asking a very general question.
My advice to you is get what fits your needs.
Tell us what you need the computer for so we can suggest parts for you.
And it's not only about the processor.
 
The latest models by both AMD and Intel are the Core 2 Extreme and the new AMD quad core model cpus. For gaming everyone has been going for the Core 2 lineup lately. The AMD quad core models are mostly for server boards and replacing the Socket 940 line while some are supposed to be FX models.

The newer C2 line of Intels run cooler and use less power then the older P4s which were known to run at higher temps. The Pentium D was near the end of that line of Intel models. The response by Shady is quite correct on the need to show the type of system you are looking for. Gamers will at this time look at the varying Core 2 lineup while those who want a good work horse for multi tasking will take a serious look at the new quad cored cpus now available from AMD.

The fastest and best cpu in the world? That will vary depending application there. Plus the next new lineup of models will put one fast cpu in a closet fast! Technology in pcs generally sees a fast turnover. What is the fastest and best one day is a dinosaur the next. Besides cpu speed the front side bus and memory along with other hardwares have to be insync with each other. That's called "fine tweaking" a system for the best performance value.
 
intell is the top dog now. but im a AMD nut and will stick with a product that has worked well for me through the years. to 90% of people its all on what you can aford. i think an all round good chip would be the AMD X2 chips. make sure its a AM2 pin!!! just so you can get some nice PC6400 ram.

but if you want the fastest stuff money can buy. well my unkle builds servers for the goverment. if fact he just put in a server that cost about 8mill USD. and he said thats the normal. i cant say to much but im telling you this. the stuff there selling (newest) on the net is nothing. he said imagine a year or two in the future. thats the stuff the goverment gets. i want his job

You are now going into a non commercial environment there. What hideid needs to do now is follow the advice especially given by Shady on just what type of application will the cpu be used for. Will it on a gaming build, a server case, or just looking for a fast processor for a variety of applications, multimedia, graphics design, or whatever. In other words putting a fast machine together.

Right now the Intel Core 2 is the fastest.

There are huge differences, but basically the Core 2 Duo is the best of those 3, even though it has a slower clock speed.

and which one to buy : intel core 2 duo or any amd latest one ?

The Intel Core 2 Duo would be the best if you want best performance.

The best consumer desktop processor would be the Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6700.
 
The quad core models by both Intel and AMD are the new item! AMD did have the performance lead for the longest time. But besides a cpu itself AMD generally works on the issue of bringing up the front side bus. While Core 2 boards are seeing 1066mhz AMD is working on the 1200mhz. For me I'll be staying with AMD to see how they regain their edge again. :D

AMD doesnt have any quads out, only the 4x4 which just uses a special server motherboard and two CPU's.

Also, AMD's current CPU's dont have an FSB :)

As I mentioned AMD "is working on". Around the summer months expect to see the actual marketing of the quad core models. A good comparison between Intel and AMD on this is seen in a Sept. 2006 article found at http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=193005560&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_Wireless

Naaa... they couldn't have that 1ghz fsb could they? especially on an FX-74. http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/details.aspx?opn=ADAFX74GAA6DI

That not the FSB, thats HT. It still runs on a 200mhz FSB, 200 X 15 its at 3ghz., HT and your FSB is not the same thing!
HyperTransport™ technology is a high speed, high performance point-to-point link for interconnecting integrated circuits on a motherboard. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for an equivalent number of pins. HyperTransport was previously codenamed Lightning Data Transport, or LDT.

You have to remember that the older 200mhz seen in the bios was doubled by dual channel seeing 200x2=fsb 400mhz. Bus speeds have been increased since that time on both AMD and Intel boards alike. AMD just happens to be focused on the fsb more then on the cpu clock speed.

What ever, that has nothing do to with what you said. You said a Athlon 64 has a 1000 mhz.FSB, it does not! Its 200mhz. The 1000mhz is the HT speed!! The processor you pointed out has a FSB of 200 mhz. and a X of 15=3ghz!! The HT speed is 1000mhz. HT is a direct link from the processor to the PCI-AGP-PCI-e and memory bus by passing the northbridge, has nothing to do with the processors FSB speed!

You divide 2000HT to arrive at 1000mhz x dual channel. The FSB is actually the term used for bi-directional data bus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_bus An fsb of 100mhz see a 1600mb per second tranfer rate. Gee a 200mhz would then see 3200mb per second during each clock cycle. One 2003 article points out the 400mhz coming from AMD in that year as seen at http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/03/12/HNamd_1.html How do you explain that the FX-74 only sees a 200mhz fsb???

FSB is a misused term nowadays and is NOT the same thing as the bus speed. I see it confused all the time thanks to companies advertising the bus speed as the fsb. I hate them for that. Now everyone thinks the P4s had 400,533,800, and 1066mhz fsb speeds. Until recently i didnt even know what the bus speed was for. Tell me if im right:

The FSB is the speed between the cpu and memory and other components in the computer

The Bus Speed is the speed between the cpu and northbridge

What are you talking about, the one in the link is a socket A, its still 200mhz. (200mhz one way 200mhz the other way), you can call it 400mhz all you want to but its still a 200mhz FSB. And that has nothing to do with HT! Quit drifting, Show me a Athlon 64 with a 1000mhz FSB like you said! They have a FSB of 200mhz. and a HT speed of 1000mhz. The FX-74 only sees a FSB of 200 its X is 15 cant you even add!

Omega is correct - A64s & X2s don't have a FSB:

Thats true to a point but backward, theres no FSB on Athlon 64 (motherboards) northbridge chip! Theres still a internal CPU FSB of 200MHZ on the processor. All HT really does is allow the processor to bypass the northbridge. The FSB is still there its just been moved from the northbridge chip control to intergated into the CPU itself, HT allows the CPU to bypass the northbridge to communicate to the other buses-memory-PCI-PCI-e
