intel are slower at producing there chips, maybe because amd are in a higher league then intel. intel are more intrested in working with dell. amd are more focused as a company

On the one hand AMD seems to be the first to release the latest advances, however Intel is in a much stronger financial position.
I have swayed towards Intel for the processors on the computers I have bought.

Great, me too. Because Intel are cheaper, right?

Actually that havent been the case in along time now. Intel used to be more expensive, but nowadays its quite the opposite. :)

i would say intel pack a punch, ok, they started out good. what making a cpu that could add simple sums, lol. but having said that amd have come along way. you know what i would say there equal and they are planning something a sort of, team work production. i hope they do i wanna know what they got in mind

Teamwork my butt! They aren't going to work together. Microsoft and Mac just got together because people don't want OS X, they want XP, and Mac saw that they could make more money. But AMD and Intel together, no.

Intel and AMD being seperate is a much bigger help to us than it could ever be with them combining forces.

As two seperate entities they are continually competing to be the market leader and so are pushing the boundaries with their CPU's more and more to out do the other.

End result is we see the benefits of this by getting newer CPU's and sockets all the time and prices are starting to compeete

As a single company they would have a monopoly on the market as other manufacturers dont come close, end result would be higher prices as people would be "forced" to use them and technology wouldnt move as fast
 
i rekon CPUs have hit the boundary of what they can do,

i say this because now they have started putting two in one, dual core etc.

thats why AGP was changed to PCIE wasnt it, because they could build better cards.

i say they should make something better than a CPU, and maybe even smaller.

also it would improve sales


you know in the poll, whats the other for, i thought there were only 3 types of processor what are the other types.

Well, they've hit the boundary SO FAR. Both companies will continue to shove more cores into the chip until quantum physics supplies a new technology for processors (isnt there some reasearch in the middle-east going on for a new cpu technology, involving beams of light rather than electricity? Sure I read this somewhere)
 
Cell is a CPU, there's nothing overly remarkable about it. It's basically a PowerPC core with 8 DSP cores attached.
