What is the difference between the PC processor AMD and Intel? Price wise and performance?

They are both the same for the most part. Its the technical details that most end users really need not worry about. From what was taught in one of the classes I took ("Intro to Computer Architecture") I could infer the difference between the two in a very simple way. Consider two guys eating the same amount of ice cream from a similar bowl. One has a small spoon, the other has a slightly bigger spoon. If they both had to finish the ice cream in the same amount of time, the guy with the bigger spoon will obviously take less number of dips per second compared to the one with the smaller spoon. In the end, they get the job done just as quickly. Now, the information your computer processes here is the ice cream, the guy with the smaller spoon is Intel and AMD is the one with the bigger spoon. So, if you notice AMD processors outrun Intel processors if you compare one of each with the same clock speeds(nothing but the giga hertz or GHz tat u hear about a lot of times) which incidentally are the numbers Intel brags about to fool ignorant users. Clock speed doesnt mean as much as Intel portrays it to be. As of price, its just a marketing strategy each of them have. Typically, AMD has been cheaper and if you are looking for more performance per dollar, AMD is the way to go.

Roughly 60 per cent.  AMD has been a chip favored by gamers and graphics users  But Intel's latest dual core chip has surpassed it in benchmark tests.

Basically Intel and AMD are rival processors. They both are same in capability. AMD is new in market, so no one is aware about its capacity. But Intel is quite old one which has gained much publicity and trust in people. I heard AMD is more  powerful than Intel processors. \n\nIf you want to use computers for high end job like graphics design, 3d, animations then i recommend Intel Pentium. If it is for normal use like Office, emails n nets then Celeron would do for you.

I'm simply appalled at the number of people recommending Intel.  I'll just assume that they have been living under the perverbeal rock.  It's not here-say, there's hard proof that AMD just crushed Intel.  AMD occupies the top of every single benchmark comparing their processors to Intel.  Intel processors are slow, inefficient and run hotter than AMD counterparts.  Performance wise you CANNOT BEAT an AMD processor.  The fastest for gaming are the Athlon 64 FX series.  The dual core Athlon FX-60 is currently the fastest consumer processor but you'll pay upwards of $900 just for that processor.  If you need proof Tomshardware has the incontrovertible evidence that Intel just sucks, period, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html I'd never buy an Intel processor, EVER.

if you mean cpus then intel is making a quadcore cpu but is also developing the core 2 duo processor at a higher frequency. AMD is slashing the prices to be lower and is also developing a quadcore cpu\n\nintel's core 2 duo processor is the best and the fastest

Well there are only 2 brands of processor really, AMD and Intel...you could argue all day about which is better.\nSome of the better motherboard brands are ASUS, Abit, Biostar, Gigabyte, DFI. Go to http://www.newegg.com to look at motherboards, processors and user reviews.

well ucan say AMD Athlon™ 64 dual core FX Processor  AMD's deliver Raw power but have a less clock speed than intels i compared a AMD Athlon xp 1700+ 1.5 GHz and a Intel Celeron M 1.5 Ghz the Amd Delivered Much Power and the intel didnt just that intel was a little better  for movies and music the AMD's btter for gaming and PC work the Intels dont heat up fast but the Amds do The good thig is that AMDs HAVE A HIGH temperature usally to 190 F' the intels dont well u than see i would still prefer the AMd cuz the RAW power and performance

Lol! This question can lead to a never ending discussion. \n\nIt depends on what you are going for. Intel's Pentium 4 is a good all around processor. AMD's Athlon is more of a performance processor. The Athlon is the processor you would want to get if you are a gamer or a graphics artist, for they are known for producing clear graphics. Also remember that there are different versions of both companies processors.\n\nI personally would recommend the Athlon, for it not only makes excellent graphics, it is also an excellent all around processor.

AMD not just for the value but for superior performance as well.  The latest generation of AMD Athlons completely shredded Intels offerings.  The fastest AMD chip currently is the Athlon 64 FX-57 series followed by the FX-55 series.  Just behind those are the AMD 64 4000+ and the AMD 64x2 4800+.  See the link for a benchmark comparisons of 77 processors, notice how all the ones at the top are AMD processors.  Intel chips are, lacking to say the least.\n\nI'm into gaming so for gamers there is no better choice than AMD.\n\nI'll let the benchmark speak for itself.

Condsidering the price and performance i would go for AMD though it is having some heating problems. 64 bit AMD is a good choice.

Currently the AMD CPUs give you better performance at a slower click speed as well as at a price point too.\nI've used AMD and Intel chips right from the type of my first 386. As I obeserved, the Intel Pentium I from the 90s were really good. They out performed my AMD K6 at the time... but eventually I found the K6-II and K6-III giving similar performace to an Intel Pentium 2 or 3.\nAnyway, that old news... check out the link below to see come comparisons.

The sempron is AMD's low end processor, like the celeron from intel.  If you want a good AMD processor go with and AMD Athlon XP or an AMD Athlon 64.  In general AMD is better than intel in my opinion.  They are built on a different architecture, which is what the 3300+ rating means.  It means that the processor is equal to an Intel P4 3.3Ghz.  Some of the AMDs have great overclocking potential, the same cant be said for intel.

the 4200 means 4.2 ghz comparable but that is hype,  to get the most out of a system you need fast memory DDR2 which AMD doesn't support yet, and a fast HDD  western digital Raptor 10000 rpm with a seek time 1/2 of the next competitor, the processor is just 1 part of the system, if you dont have enough and fast memory you will never get the max out of the processor,

intel uses FSB architecture  and has higher clock speed than AMD but has less L1 cache than AMD.\n\nAMD uses DCA architecture(on die mmy controller) and less lock speed less L2 cache than intel but has more L1(fast as twice as L2) than intel also AMD is faster than intel because of these facts with its low(enough) clock speed.\n\ni prefer AMD and it is good performance at reasonable cost

AMD Processors and Intel Pentium 4's are two popular processors. They are different in internal structure but both function under Windows.\n\nHow are they different?\n\nAMD has shorter pipelines than Intel. In short, this gives a minimal advantage to repetitive tasks, which gives Intel chips a small advantage. But, most tasks like gaming or other processor intensive tasks are not predictive and change frequently. This gives AMD a huge advantage for gaming. Some $300 AMD's outperform $1000 Intels.\n\nAlso, AMD's are generally better bang to the buck (value), which makes them more attractive.\n\nIn short? Either will run Windows, and either processor should serve you well for internet browsing, email and word processing. But if you are a power user or a gamer, AMD is the way to go.

The new Intel Duo-something. I have an AMD processor in this one though and it seems to be pretty fast.

that's the test report Pentium Extreme Edition 955 versus Athlon 64 FX-60\nThe conclusion in one phrase: the test results make it clear, however, that Intel probably won't be able to catch up with AMD using processors based on the Netburst microarchitecture.\n\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/fx60-vs-955xe/index.x?pg=1
