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.</blockquote>
