I've read a ton of these AMD vs. Intel threads. Somehow I've reached my conclusion though.
It's generally accepted that: AMD is better in games, and Intel is better in transcoding, recoding, decoding, apps, etc.
Well ya know, whether my computer takes 20 or 30 minutes to render a video file, I'm not going to sit in front of it the whole time. However, I will sit in front of it the whole time I'm gaming. You will actually SEE the performance strong points in AMD. Whereas with Intel, what are you going to be doing while that file prepares? Out at a movie? A party? Banging the GF?
If I were to get a new desktop PC today, I'd get an AMD.
