Why AMD

[gojonnygo5]

People say the AMD is much better for gaming than the Intel CPUs.. what exactly makes them superior in gaming over the Intel? And why is intel better at apps?

 

[dale5605]

AMD = faster access, Intel = better at running more things at once

 

[FadingTheory]

Intel is better at apps because of hyper threading, which allows it to actually multitask. AMD make processors with superior archetecture, making them better at even lower hertz (GHz). Hypertransport/On-die memory controller increases RAM performance, which is really important in games. Intel does not have this, yet.

Theres more to it... but I cant remember.

This is going to turn into "one of those" threads

amd has shorter pipelines, which in short is why they're better at gaming. intel has hyperthreading, which allows the cpu to act as 2 cpu's.

Because the benchmarks say so...
