Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2

I think things are subjective at this point; AMD seems to be the better deal for builders on a budget, while Intel seems to be the leading choice for power users and/or gamers.

What do you guys think, I'm including 3 options on this poll.
1) AMD
2) Intel
3) The CPU is a tool, and you use the most effective tool for the job.

Intel FTW!

I have an Intel but basically I don't give a toss whether it be Intel or AMD, tomorrow may be different as it's what's best on the day I buy. Just because I have Intel does'nt make me a fanboy.

So it's option 3

best tool for the job ftw (gaming!)

Processors really haven't changed much in the last year, the Core 2 Duo's were top then and they still are now.

Unfortunately, I have turned from an AMD Fanboy to an Intel Fanboy.

 

[Ethan3.14159]

remember the good ol' days when it was amd at #1 and intel?? intel who?? i still really like amd but i voted for intel. hopefully they'll turn it around soon.

 

[zer0_c00l]

AMD.. yeah im one of the three votes! lol

 

[Ambushed]

What kind of question is this? Of course it is Intel.

 

[heatsink]

INTEL!!=Win

 

[Tuffie]

Intel fanboy fo life.

 

[cohen]

i hit AMD, i meant intel... i use AMD and they are good at the moment.

 

[Schonza]

Intel. I've used both AMD and Intel around the same level, and intel is a lot better.

 

[Ambushed]

I used to prefer AMD, I actually own a AMD. But from time, I've came to become to the Intel world =).

 

[colt1911]

Intel , use to have AMD .

 

[lovely?]

had an AMD single core and it was great, and i really like AMD as a company too. i hope they make a comeback soon and find ever greater ways to incorporate graphics and processors into the same unit, i think that is where technology is headed for the forseeable future...


but alas i chose intel because i own a c2d and it really is good.

 

[headcrabCAKE]

i like the way amd cpus are better at dealing with memory (cache) so they need less i dunno i like to think it makes the cards cost less

 

[Bob Jeffery]

for a cheap system amd ftw...for a normal gaming system intel ftw.....for me AMD is fine.

 

[Dazzeerr]

Intel. I can remember when AMD were on top for quite a while. AMD were hot shit around the time Counter-Strike 1.6 was released because i remember everyone with the AMD & ATI combo.

People showing off their AMD Athlon & Radeon 9800 systems. Good times.
I think the Intel/Geforce equivalent was something like FX 5800 and 3Ghz+ Pentium 4's, could be wrong though.

Then all i remember is Intel & Geforce taking off ever since the 6 series and ATI never really making a big comeback.


Oh and these are all my opinions/beliefs, so don't rant at me if you don't agree ^^
