i go for amd, because they have lower clock frecuenties, while it has the samecapasaty as its intell counterpart :)
but, there is nothing wrong with intel cpu's.
(meh.. this is exact the same as the old ati, nvidia question :) )
 
My AMD Athlon xp 3000+ works extremely well... every system i build for my clients i put a AMD in it. and i never had a problem with one yet...iv been doing it for about 5 years now... when i decided to overclock my 3000+ to 2.4 ghz i bought a Volcano 12 and now my cpu never gets hotter then 34C. and about 38 at heavy load.
i totally agree with zkiller
AMD rocks my box0r
 
i like intel but am going with an amd

i like intel they are good processors but i want to see what gaming is like with an amd then if it is good i will go with amd but for now intel

ive got that processor too but i cant get mine past 2.2 :( it gets unstable but it doesnt get hot. (then again i dont know alot about overclocking, perhaps ill read OC101 again haha) i didnt notice a difference from 2.0 to 2.2 should i have?
 
AMD beats intel by far with performance.

Depends what you are doing. Look at a DivX encode, any Intel chip will trounce an AMD chip. But in say Doom3, AMD will trounce Intel
 
Hmm...

Intel and AMD are both excellent chips to use in computers. However, I have to go with Intel. My first computer used an AMD, and for a while it worked quite well, though I noticed it was a bit slow. Then it completely stopped working and I had to get it fixed. Then a short time later I had to get the thing repaired again, so I decided to just buy an HP. The HP uses an Intel, and it's never given me any trouble at all. My laptop also uses an Intel and it's just as excellent.

Intel has my vote all the way. \:O/
 
Both Intel Athlon XP and AMD 4 Extreme Edition are very good chips, so I don't know which one to choose...

Having to fix something wouldn't have to do with the CPU, unless it was the CPU itself and you had to replace it.
 
Just get them both with the best parts and compare :D
Also does anyone have some benchmarks for amd and intel in gaming if they even have those?
 
It depends on which processor is the best at the time. If I were to buy one today I'd get an AMD but who knows what tomorrow will bring. It's best to leave your options open and not get caught up in being a devoted fan, that can get you less for more.
 
I've never had Intel, probably never will, this is my fourth AMD processor and none of them ever let me down.

I could say the same thing about my P4.

I think this is a good a place as any to bring this up (if this destroys the topic of this thread I'll have someone split the thread or delete this). What is with the brand loyalty we see now? Not just AMD/Intel, but ATi/nVidia, Coke/Pepsi, the list goes on. Why is it that people get almost fanatical about supporting any given brand? People in this thread have screamed 'AMD!!!' quite a bit, now I haven't read the entire thing but I'll bet very few, if any, people screamed 'Intel!!!'

I had the same thought just a few hours ago, especially efter seeing the same trend in the video card section. It seems like some people takes for granted one path is better than the other (regardless of their level of experience).

Now theres nothing wrong with expressing what you choose to use since the topic here afterall is 'Which CPU brand do you choose?'.

But what enoys me is comments like "never had Intel, probably never will" "I would say ati i had a nvidia once and it was rubbish" & "ATI Rules" amongst others. Nothing wrong with bein satisfied with a product you use, but assuming it's better than others, specially with such limited experience (if any) is plain stupid.
