jacob 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 What do you think is the best processor company? I think intel is, becuase their processors are faster and they have hyperthreading and are starting to produce 64 bit processors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OpaQue 15 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Intel will continue to Rule because Most of the Operating System [ especially windows ] considers it as a standard and they optimize Windows for INTEL. If u have ever seen the Processor box, on an intel chip it is clearly written, OPTIMIZED FOR WINDOWSXP whereas on AMD it is written " COMPATIBLE with .... "However, recent versions of AMD chips are also being Optmized for Windows.Intel Processors are known for STABILITY and they are more prefered at Corporate LevelsAMD processors are more known for GAMING.

noxit 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 yeah i agree wid you admin ..intel processors are the best as far as compatibility is concerned . AMD processors are also very good but in the early days they were known for heating up and used to hault the system , but now , the XP series of AMD is doing a great greta job , and their speed and performance definitely seems to be better than intel , but sometimes, their behaviour is auckward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelcy 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I voted for Intel We have three desktop computers, and they are all Intel Pentium. And we have one laptop using Intel Centrino. I haven't really tried other processors, and we're not having any problems with Intel, so I think it's great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravi 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I had got a video of TOM'S HARDWARE TEST.They tested out both intel and amd processors by playin the game QUAKE III ARENA and they removed the heatsink [ the thing that keeps processor cool ].RESULTS :Intel Processor : The FPS [ frames per second ] of the Game started dropping suddenly and finally the whole screen got blank and the PC got hanged and switched off.AMD Processor : The FPS remained constant inspite of the removal of the heat sink and the game continued to give the same performance. But after 15 secs the processor was in flames and it scewed up itself as well as the motherboard.CONCLUSION : I think, one who has read the above thing has enough brains to think which is the best!

Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Intel is nice but its known as 'branded stuff' and its expensive compared to AMD. However, AMD is matching Intel's performance and it is slightly cheaper than Intel chips. That why its preferred for gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 By the way, how do you guys acctually overclock? I know its from the BIOs but I don't really know exactly what to do. Can someone just explain it in simple English to me?And yes, simple English, not computer jargon.-Shackman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinfo 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2004 Intel still leads in terms of technology, but AMD is catching up pretty fast. But for a performance-to-price ratio, AMD is marginally better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etherion 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2004 Amd not only because of its very nice performance but mostly because it's cheaper....I heard that overclocking is much easier too but haven't checked it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
