i voted intel when i first came to CF... :o
i wish i could change that...

same here, lol. When i voted for Intel, i thought it was really nice... that was before i tried AMD.
 
the poll should start over soon, since now the tides are turning. Newbies, after reading this, won't be mislead by going always for amd.

By saying this, it appears that you think that Intel is gaining ground over AMD. But yet the next 2 people to post say exactly the opposite:

Where do you get this information? Or is it just more fanboyism? ;)

Hold up just a minute... i did say that when i voted for Intel, i never tried AMD. And after i tried it i thought it was much better (and it was), however Intel's new chips look surprisingly good, vs AMD's new chips which dont show a drastic performance increase over the current X2 series. Once the next two chips are out, i feel that Intel is going to gain the lead at multitasking, and gaming.

OK, so it wasn't quite exactly the opposite. But you still proved my point.
 
OK, im sure you guys will enjoy some of these posts made several years ago. They are all from this thread, some are just funny because they talk about old chips, while some are from noobs:

AMD are just faster chips. The P4 is too slow because of the large L2 Cache. Since AMD hasnt brokent he 256 mark they are alot faster. I think Intel has learned from their mistake though and brought the L2 Cache from 512 back down to 256.

I agree with AainaalyaA, Macs are best and fastest

I also heard that AMD are about 5% slower than Intel Chips... is that true?

this salesman told me that an AMD Athlon XP at 2.2GHz is comparable to a P4 at 3GHz.
Click to expand...
well AMD is better and the intel is rubbish i've got an AMD athlon 3.4 GHZ and the Intel only has the new P4 which is only about 2.4 GHZ the AMD has more choice of speed than the intel

AMD's are so much better at multitaking and gaming IMO.

Decent idea but ....I still think the Dual Core shouldnt be their primary focus for (for now)... the single core still has quite a bit of life in it

I'd love to get my hand on an AMD CPU anything above 2400+

get the 64 bits and imrpove your 32bit programs.

AMD doesn't do anything faster than 2.4GHz

I think P4 HT is better then AMD for gaming, business, home use, and theres alot more software and hardware thats compatible with intel vs AMD.

lol. got a little mixed up? :)

I was just saying that the end of this year there needs to be a new Intel vs. AMD poll. :)

Was that you that posted that? I dont think it was, since it was from 2003/2004.
 
no I was commenting that the person was mixed up. I guess the wording of my last post here was a little messed up. lol
 
Yes the tides are turning. In the 4th quarter of 2005, AMD sold more products than Intel did, for the first time. But of course they did not get more profit, because Intel's stuff is overpriced.....

that is an overbloated stat, looking at only a small section of market sales. Intel market share is about 5 times that of amd

that is probably a good idea, we'll cross that bridge later

Thank you for bringing some sense to the masses apj :)

Also, Intel stuff is not over priced, last time I checked they offered cheaper dual core solutions then AMD. AMD can't possibly sell more product than Intel (at this time), they can't even touch Intels manufacturing base (quite possibly the only companies that can are IBM and Samsung but Samsung doesn't have the engineering team to put together a CPU and IBM targets a different market)
 
i dont think that will have much effect on amd as amd's cache on their line of cpus are generally lower than intel, but amd still raises the upper hand in peformance
 
Im actually leaning towards Intel again, since i love my CPU. Sure it doesnt beat an AMD X2 4800+, but it performs about the same as an AMD X2 3800+. I get 30sec in SuperPi 1M using only one core. It also gave me a cpu score of 1530 in 3DMark06.
