Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2

[Geoff]

I think for most DIY, would go for AMD, my favoriate as well

Is there a reason why? Or do you just prefer AMD?

 

[Iluvpenguins]

I go with whatever is better. For example, I had an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ from when they were kicking the P4's ass (purchased just as dual cores started coming out). But now Intel's core 2 duo's are taking it to AMD, so I switched over. The better performer wins my heart.

i prefer intel. just because thats what i have always liked.

if im building something with a small budget i will start looking at AMD and ATI. but for the most part i stick with Intel and Nvidia. kinda stupid, but yeah. thats what i like for some reason.

I think Intel Is better for Games and it have at most more cache. -_-"

 

[ecyor07]

If ur looking for quality and durability, go Intel! Ive been using it for almost 8 years now, and still it didnt failed my expectations. I just tried AMD recently, Im trying to test it if it can beat my Intel.... yeah!!!

 

[JLV2k5]

i cannot believe it is so close

 

[jacklazara]

i prefer to choose Intel

Well ive been told from lots of sources that AMD is for gaming and Intel is for multitasking and performance, but I'm going to have to go with AMD on this one.

thats not true anymore intel is in the lead right now

 

[98bishopmal]

I know i have an AMD and im very happy with it but sorry my next system is going to be intel as they seem to be alot better at the moment

 

[Kotaro669]

Voted AMD. They have the best bang for the buck, or atleast... the most bang you can get with not so much buck.

The computer I'm currently on is running a strong Pentium 4. I'm still pretty happy with it, and it runs like a charm.

My personal computer is running an Athlon 64 X2. I originally thought I'd like AMD over Intel, but with all the advances Intel is making, I'm going to slide with Intel for the moment. (Not that AMD is bad!)

 

[bigbird]

Cyrix FTW!

 

[elitehacker]

In terms of performance, Intel wins hands down, AMD/ATi seems to have given up on the high end of the market, for both its CPU and graphics cards. I like my performance so Intel would be the one for me. I guess AMD/ATi is good for people who are on a budget and can't afford an Intel and don't require high performance CPUs.

 

[Intel_man]

Right now I'm running a Intel E6300 Core 2 Duo and it's perfect.

 

[morris14cc]

the core 2 duos are great

 

[elitehacker]

Core 2 Quad, namely the Q6600 is my choice at the moment, it has the right balance between price and performance.

 

[N3crosis]

I have an AMD 64 X2 6000+ right now, but when the new Phenoms come out(9750) I will get that.

 

[Ambushed]

AMD, but I want a Q6600!

 

[G25r8cer]

AMD! Best for your money plus, Im not falling for Intel's crap! They are just like mac. They try to make their stuff the next big thing
