AMD or INTEL?

check the stickies before you ask a question like this.

this is deader than the guy who bought john romero's ferrari.
 
lol, thats at least 3 threads I've seen this week.

If I have to pick, AMD :p . Why? because
 
*dawns flame retardent clothing and equips riot gear*

AMD...cause the last thing i wanna do is cook breakfast on my new presshot stovetop...
i honestly think you'd be better off to hook a heater to your present computer than to go intel at this point...you'd get the same performance increase for less money...lol
 
hmmm, u picked to post your thread under the AMD category. very nice. what do you think we gonna say >:0
 
go with intel, their pentium 5's 4.0ghz are quite fast... and why? because thier fast.. o yeah and if cant find one get a 3.8ghz pentium 4 extreme edition.. it's so worth the money.. like 4 times faster than what amd has offering right now... and in games.. u'll notice night and day going with pentium 4.. u won;t regret spending 900 bucks on it :) ENJOY!
 
This probably qualifies as the most polite flaming I have ever seen ;)
 
It depends what your needs are. For gaming AMD is best and Intel for most other things. AMD does howver have a better price - performance ratio.
 
aZn_plyR

I vote AMD on this one. It's typically less expensive and you get either the same or better performance.

aZn_plyR is a shmuck. There's no P4 4GHz in existance. Intel clearly stated they won't sell them. There were a few made, but they weren't sold to the public. And the P4EE is just too damn expensive. The FX-5x beats it. And even then, I can't recommend the FX because it too is just too expensive. You can visit various sites such (even those that are inclined to support Intel) and they all come down to the same conclusion: AMD's Athlon64 is better than the Pentium4 Prescott. The P4EE is hardly four times faster...

Here's a comparison of the 3.8GHz vs the 4000+, the best mainstream processors both have to offer.

Here's a review of the 4000+ and FX-55

Here's a review of the 3.46GHz P4EE:

Here's a review of a the results of a stock/overclocked S939 90nm Athlon64
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2242&p=1

All conclude that the Athlon64 has superior value. And this is with but one site. There are a whole bunch of others.

I don't want to cause a flame, but I hate it when people advertise falsities like that...

If you want something reasonable, the S939 Athlon64 3200+ (Winchester) is a good choice. It's performs well and It overclocks well if needed. 2.6GHz is a typical frequency. The price isn't too bad either.

Look at the benchmarks of the applications you use. Buy the correct CPU, for your purpose.

A CPU is a tool to accomplish whatever ends you're looking for. Be objective.
