intel pentium processors are slow and laggy.. plp that think that are using pentium 4 or d processors might think that their processors are the best. BECUZ they think that amd are much slower in terms of clock speed. THEY ARE WRONG. AMD PROCESSORS can THresh intel pentiums. they run 9 cycles instead of 6 in a full clock unlike intel. INTEL INSIDE, IDIOT OUTSIDE.

Amd for speed, intel for reliablity. AMD has the best gaming cpus by far, nthing beats the 3.4ghz phenom II x2 line

I have a athalon 2.8ghz blackbox edition, a phenom x4 9750 2.4ghz and a turion mobile x1 2.4 ghz and a turion x1 2.0ghz all from diffrent pcs ive used/built
throughout the yrs. all have worked perfectly

Dude, you don't need to double post, and certainly do not need to bump a thread from back in 2006...it's like...4 years ago.

But come on...why is Intel winning here? What's wrong with AMD?

Intel for me still rocks and rule the processor world xD well AMD is good enough and cheap but its not that good in some
computers and its easy to got broken while intel last longer I tried once AMD and it sounds like annoying..
while the Intel doesn't have a sound

As I am not a gamer, I need the CPU to be stable, fast and mainly using less energy and not getting to hot.

I used to use AMD for some years on my old computer, as it was cheaper, now I use Intel.

I think intel is number one.
They not only update their processors like very quickly but they also make way better and unique updates.
They update with faster memory, there's 4 cores and 8 (which means super fast )
Some of them are expensive though, like 1000 just for a processor.
Also power consumption has improved which is awesome too.

I read that Intel leads the way with technology and being ubiquitous with just about every computer out there. It's like the case with Microsoft Windows against Linux: people know Intel, people buy Intel. Those that don't know any better probably don't even realize that they have an AMD processor in their computers when they buy them. AMD is slowly catching up on the tech side, but there seems to be more focus on keeping Intel from dominating the CPU market than there is in new research and development. It's crazy when I hear 6-core (sex-core? ) processors coming out of Intel with their working i7 line-up and the only thing that stands out from the crowd for me is the tri-core processors from AMD. It would make sense that AMD is better with an on-die cache on their processors, reducing lag time with communicating with the northbridge, but I think that Intel has the capital and the reputation to make deals with other companies to "optimize" and work with their technologies... and those companies tend to be a bit higher up in the food chain. Also, I'm not sure if there's more of a focus on developing ATI's graphical powerhouse or if the ATI portion of the company is just cranking out monsters like the HD 4870 that dominates the GPU floor, but if the focus is indeed moreso on graphics, it would kind of explain why the processor technology seems... a tad slow in coming. I don't think there's enough of a performance difference when measuring *BLEEP* for tat between Intel and AMD processors, but if you want the latest and greatest AND can pay for it, Intel is the way to go. However, AMD is still in the ball game with efficiency (IMO) and it would take quite a bit to dismiss it as an inferior product.

EDIT: THE EDIT IS BACK! Anyway, the *BLEEP* is actually t-i-t. Not sure why that's censored if I'm not even using it in that context... not to mention that it is a valid word and not just slang.

I personally am going with intel. All of the computers I own areintel, and I've never had a problem. That being said, I have nothing against AMD either, and I am sure they make quality processors too. My mom owns a computer with an AMD processor, and she has not had any complaints.
