they are so close most are neck to neck at stock clocks....just admit it they are very close:D:P even the ones the E6600 beats it its only by about 2 seconds

Have you looked at all the tests ?

6000+ is better in some of the tests, but E6600 beats it in the majority of the tests

And I never said that they are not very close in terms of performance

i know, For the same price if i had to get the 6000+ or the E6600 i would get the 6600...
 
I voted AMD because I more experience with them.
Although I must admit, they are dieing, which could mean their last CPUs could be cheaper.

AMD or INTEL

The battle between intel and amd is huge and will probably never:eek: end but I think that Core 2 Duo is far superior:) to anything amd has! The only thing I like bout amd is the fast FSB which is a huge factor for speed. That's why the athlon's run alot faster than p4's!:(
 
Same with me. I have no problem with Intel. I think they've done a great job. I just have an affinity with the underdog. I trust the little guys more. To AMD, it's all about just catching up and providing the fastest and most efficient product. With Intel, it's about sitting on the pile of cash.
 
I'm wondering what the poll will be when AMD and the ATI scentists make a processor together and likley with a bit of IBM imput as usual. it's going to be a monster they must of bee planning it since the merger. For now I'll go Intel but waiting to see what this AMD quad core is like it's ment to be a quad core and not two dual cores linked like the intel one so might be much faster.
 
Ati has been not impressing me lately. Releasing buggy nonintuitive drivers for their cards. Don't get me started on the Linux side either.

Honestly, Nvidia as of right now in my experience writes some of the most solid drivers for their video chips. I could care less what the 3DMark score is, I want it to run how it is suppose to at all times and allow me to run OpenGL desktop window managers and the such with out crashing, chocking, or eating up resources in the OS.

Previously I was a Huge ATI fan. But I think they can come back. If I were in the market for a video card right now I would buy Nvidia no doubt.

As far as processors go, I have to hand it to intel. I was die hard AMD fan until the Core 2 Duos came out. Intel has always made a solid chip but AMD always had comparable for cheaper. That is not always the case now.

AMD is not a bad chip by any means either.

Take a look at the first poll, and you'll see that when the Athlon series was ahead, AMD was #1. People just vote for whatever is better at the time they vote.
 
Intel. Since it's expensive and "extreme" :P. But if your tight on budget, I would defintely go for AMD since they are great, too!
 
AMD seems to be going downhill since Intel released their Quads but i like the look of ATIs now GFX cards.
 
AMD and Intel are 1 on 1 with dual core! I can't tell the difference! My friend's HP laptop uses intel's core2 duo, my roomate uses a HP laptop with AMD X2, both seem to run at the same level!

What model were they? It's possible that the Core 2 Duo was running at say, 1.66Ghz, whereas the X2 was running at 2.0Ghz..

And theres alot more that makes up computer performance then the CPU, generally you wouldnt notice a difference between a 1.5Ghz C2D and a 2.16Ghz C2D if your just doing basic stuff.

Expensive, eh? A little more expensive that AMD sometimes, but when I bought my computer, the cheapest dual core was $245, and the motherboard that went along with it was another $125.
 
Intel

Intel has recaptured most of the market with the newest core 2 duo and quad core, however, if you are an avid gamer who wants best bang for buck it would definitely be AMD

The Core 2 series are better then AMD's processors at gaming.
