This is only about thermal protection a feature we need very rare occactions since no sane person is going to run processor without cooler unless his intesion is to destroy the processor. So this is not a very good factor to measure the performance of the CPU which is the most important feature of a processor.


ae video eka baluwama intel wala thiyena reliability , built quality etc penne nadda...??

ewa performance ekata balapanne nadda..?..

the only issue is AMD is not widely available in SL market, some people only do intel so its not very easy to find a good AMD processor.
That's because there are no good AMD processors :P

Phenoms are available in Sri Lanka fyi.

    Brand name have more customer interaction. But why do you pay more for Intel? Intel uses more cache memory to processor. AMD have more pipe line stages. (I heard hackers like AMD than Intel) I am and AMD user since beginning and never hope to switch to Intel.

    it depends on what u need and what u gonna do with ur processor

    i vote 4 intel cause its 100% ok 4 me

    and machan add a poll too

    Brand loyalty is just an excuse. The wise thing to do is to go with the best option (not necessarily the the fastest ...maybe best bang for the buck...it depends on the user).

    Intel uses more cache because they don't have the IMC that AMD enjoys. However, it hasn't really affected Intel adversely. In fact, I would like Intel not to use an IMC, because if they use them, they can easily lock overclocking, which is something that is gonna happen with the non-enthusiast level Nehalem processors. That sucks!

    More pipeline stages are not always a good thing. It lets you do many things at the same time, but if a branching occurs and if the pipeline has to be flushed, a lot of execution time will be lost.

    At the present day, Intel wins hands down in every benchmark they get thrown at. Also, most importantly, they overclock damn well!! Why do people say Intel processors are expensive? Buy a cheap E2140 CPU for 8k bucks and overclock to 3GHz. Hardly any AMD processor can beat that! Not even with the Phenom X4's sometimes.

    More pipeline stages are not always a good thing. It lets you do many things at the same time, but if a branching occurs and if the pipeline has to be cleared, a lot of execution time will be lost.

    There are pipe line hazards (Structural hazards, Data hazards, Control hazards). But I think key role AMD is pipe lines. Over clocking case may due to AMD get little bit heat.
    Anyway lets see in 2012 when Moore's Law fails when which company will win!

    Looks like you did DSD :P
    Anyway, the more pipeline stages allow a CPU to clock higher. We don't see that with AMD.

    FYI, AMD (Athlon64 and Phenom) have only 12 pipeline stages compared to 14 in Core 2.

    The low overclocking potential has nothing to do with the heat. They just can't clock high enough! Besides, Intel have had time to tweak 65nm tech more extensively and also now they are in 45nm, which gives them a chance to clock higher.

    AMD always leads the market big time :)

    by the way the intel vs amd heat sink removal experiment kinda sux. coz who on earth wants to unplug the heat sink from the runnng CPU. If the FAN burns out the AMD CPU survives given that the heat sink still remains coz there is no excuse for someone to pull out the heat sink from the runnign CPU & claim that CPU got burnt :P thats just insane...


    Anyways its good to know the PC shops have started importing AMD again :)

    The answer to your question which is better intel or AMD ? => AMD is better :)


    If someone asked which CPU would you'd have bought 3 years back from SL the answer is AMD with no hesitaiton.
    If someone asks the same question now my answer will be Intel :P :P Why ? because its very recently that the pc shops started to import AMD again after like 2 years of time. Because of that they still dont have the latest & best AMD CPUs.

    Cheers,

    Come on man! You are not making any sense! How can you say AMD is better? Are A.M.D. your name's initials or some stupid reason like that, ha?

    Intel is faster than AMD in every benchmark. Intel uses lower power at full load than AMD (not at idle though). Intel overclocks really well (50%-100% overclocks are achievable)

    So?
