AMD Processor vs Intel Processor

[waynejkruse10]

a friend of mine used to like intel but the netburst architechture turned him off. So he went and bought a Dothan.

But if you want to photo edit/video edit or something huge like that an Intel will usually prove better in the end, if you don't skimp on hardware.

well that is true for single core Pentium 4's, however Hyperthreading is usually what gave Intel the lead in video editing. now that we are into dual core CPU's, AMD X2's are better in video editing than Pentium 4's with Hyperthreading or even Pentium D's

good point apok. the x2s crunch video encoding and my 3800+ will outperform the $1600 au Pentium D EE

processor to processor amd has intel beat. just go over an dcheck out extreme tech's web site they have very detailed information on thier real world tests, in every catagory amd has won. the $600 X2 runs circles sround the $1000 pentium extreme edition. the sempron 3400+ which is a budget cpu scores better than some p4 HTs! this is what happens when you dont spend money in r&d for three years, bad move intel.

its really a crying shame. it looks like AMD has kind of dropped the ball for the next generation. Intel stand to forcibly take back some of their market share. why oh why did AMD not do some more marketing (or any) for their K8 series they could have taken control

I have found that both amd and intel processors both have their weaknesses because when intel processors overheat I find that they just shut off but amd processors can smooke and catch on fire. I had my old Athlon thunderbird almost go up in flames when the heatsink died. But amd is way better for preformance in my opinion.

thats true to an extent. To my knowledge that happened with older Socket A and Intel Chips. The Intel would just slow itself down. But the AMD would die. Nowerdays i think most motherboards has a feature to power off the system on overheat so its a bit of a non issue.

Intel seems to be making a rather large comeback.

 

[waynejkruse10]

to an extent, since this cpu hasnt exactly been released yet you cant really compare it to something AMD has had out for a while.

But the Conroe is probably the first Intel CPU i would buy since becoming Tech aware.
