gogaoep 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 AMD is costs less i agree on that. But its crap, even by mass. If you compare 1 AMD 64 processor to P4 processor you will see that P4 weights alot more. It is also build with much better quality thats y it can handle more overcloacking. Therefore its better, but the cost rises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxnolif3xx 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2004 I've used both. I don't think there is much of a difference, except maybe the cost. Generally AMD computers are far less expensive then the equivilant Intel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MajesticTreeFrog 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2004 AMD has faster outright performance a good deal of the time, provided you are doing just one thing. The difference however, is usually rather small. On the other hand, Intel's hyperthreading tech allows running multiple programs and multitasking to work significantly better than AMD. Things get more complicated when you look at the 64 bit arena. AMD64 is the clear winner in this arena, with the intel Itanium quickly headed for the trashcan. However, Intel recently, and quietly, added support for the AMD x86-64 command set to its lastest set of chips, so they will run the same stuff the AMD chips will. So, now the question is, for the next set of chips, who will be better? AMD has more experience with their command set, but Intel's hyperthreading and long pipeline may somehow give them a large boost in performance(or a terrible cut, I don't know which). Anyway, after all that, the question of which is better depends on what you are doing. For gaming, AMD is the way to go. For multitasking and similar, go Intel.
