    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,

    :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
    I saw AMD Sempron 3000 processor under 4000/= (Brand new) at unity. No phenomenon. No Turions . No good athlen processor availble here. So people here thinks AMD sucks

    Phenom sucks compared to Core 2. Heck, even the X2 6400+ can sometimes beat the fastest Phenom X4 processor! Something is seriously wrong with the K10 architecture!

    What do you say about AMD X86-64 Instruction? I hear there is same type instruction in Intel called X64MT or some thing. I just want to know. Do the core to have 64 bit register or is it virtual 64 in Intel?

    Both AMD and Intel are not true 64bit architectures. Only Intel Itanium processors are the true 64bit CPUs available in the market.

    AMD and Intel both are using x86-64, which is only an extension to the x86 architecture. Maybe Intel came up with the name EM64T at first only allowing RAM over 4GB with no potential 64bit benefits. I am not sure about it. But current x64 CPUs from Intel (Core 2's) speed up execution when 64bit code is present. They can execute 32bit code natively, which is something Itanium processors can't do.

    Both AMD and Intel desktop processors have "some" 64bit registers for 64bit code execution. I read somewhere that Core 2's require one additional clock cycle for executing 32bit code (which means it "likes" 64bit code), but I'm not so sure about it.

    Tnx. I heard similar case. In core 2 processors (Both AMD and Intel), We can use either core two facility or 64 bit computing.

    best is AMD
    AMD Phenom™ X4 Quad-Core

    coz it has level 3 che memory and intel only got 2..
    i like amd's but not available in sl
    intel is just trying to prove they they have the fastest processor's
    fast does not matter coz Amd has more processing powers and Cross wife technology
    where as intel does not have That means we can got 2a 4Gb Vga capacity and 16Gb Ram..And the bus speed in Amd is also 2times bigger than Intel..

    It is not either multicore OR 64bit computing. You can use both at the same time :/

    LOL!

    More levels of cache doesn't mean it is faster! It only means there are more levels of cache. That's all. The speed gains or losses depend on the architecture. Besides, Intel employs more cache to compensate for the lack of an IMC. It doesn't matter which method is the best. Intel is faster!

    Intel don't have to prove anything. The world has proven it already. Intel rules! Go out and read few reviews. Check how the fastest Phenom X4 stacks up against the competition! AMD is so busted! In most situations, Inte's dual core CPUs are faster than AMD' quad core CPUs. What more is left to say?

    Cross wife technology? WTF does that mean? Never knew AMD had something to do with marriages :dull:

    4GB VGA capacity? LOL Why do you need that much VGA RAM? Do you own a 100" display that can do 6400x4800 resolution? Are you out of your freaking mind? You are not making any sense!

    AMD runs at a bus speed of 200MHz. Intel runs at 1333 or 1600. They are not comparable. AMD uses something called hypertransport. It runs up to 2.6GHz. Again, they are not comparable. They are two designs.

    16GB RAM? RAM amount has nothing to do with the CPU as long as they are in 64bit. It is limited by the chipset. If chipset supports more RAM, they can use hundreds of GB of RAM.

    if you are talking about performance, then yes Intel wins hands down, but things are a bit complicated than that, say if you want to build a HTPC, new AMD 780 chipset has a integrated HD3200 GFX card with a Universal Video decoder that can decode full resolution HD videos in real time with little to no burden to the cpu, infact its so good all you need is a sloppy sempron to play the highest quality movies. if you are in to overclocking then AMD is not for you, cuz the K8 and the K10 architectures have smaller number of pipelines than Core 2's they dont overclock too well, if you think of a long upgradability path then AMD is the way to go, cuz intel is going to drop socket 775 very soon, but all processors that are scheduled for next few years by AMD are compatible with AM2+, and in the future with LGA1060 socket (combined wth the Nehalem processor) intel is gonna lock overclocking for mainstream alltogeather and we will be forced to buy AMD, and i think AMD's K10.1 SHanghai will be quite a performer, we will see in the future.
