What is the diffrince between AMD and INTEL?
340024
AMD:\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc. (abbreviated AMD; NYSE: AMD) is a manufacturer of integrated circuits based in Sunnyvale, California. It is the second-largest supplier of x86-compatible processors, and a leading supplier of non-volatile flash memory. It was founded in 1969 by a group of defectors from Fairchild Semiconductor, including Jerry Sanders. AMD's current CEO is Dr. Héctor Ruiz. The current president and Chief Operating Officer is Dirk Meyer.\n\nIntel:\nIntel was founded in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore (a chemist and physicist) and Robert Noyce (a physicist and co-inventor of the integrated circuit) when they left Fairchild Semiconductor. It is noteworthy that Intel competitor AMD was also founded by the Traitorous Eight, in 1969. Intel's employee number four was Andy Grove (a chemical engineer), who ran the company through much of the 1980s and the high-growth 1990s. It is Grove who is now remembered as the company's key leader. By the end of the 1990s, Intel was one of the largest and most successful businesses in the world, though fierce competition within the semiconductor industry has since diminished its position somewhat.

AMD..it runs cooler and faster.

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.

I like intel better... why? Im used to it and i know it works  really well.

Some of the info above is false. Both intel and AMD make 64-bit chips. 64-bit is not any faster than 32-bit for everyday applications. In fact, for most applications, it's slightly slower. That's because most applications have not been developed for 64-bit computations. The memory latency also attributes to 64-bit being slightly slower. However, it's mostly unnoticeable.\n\nYou should run CPU-Z if you wish to know more about your system. It's a tiny, free, standalone application that does not require installation to run. And it will tell you a lot more than just your processor type.\n\nLink: h ttp://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php\n(note the space)\n\nAlso, you will need a 64-bit operating system (e.g. WinXP Pro x64) to enable the "benefits" of 64-bit computation.

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

AMD doesn't make computer they make processors, but no big deal. See the URL below:

AMD is really good for gaming and videos, Intel is better for programs and such. I'd prefer AMD becuase it more faster in my opinion.

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.

i prefer intel, it is a matter of which one you prefer

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

From the perspective of someone who is just running applications -- not much.  It's kind of like the difference between a Ford engine and a Chevy engine.  You pick your desired performance and price-point. (BTW, my Ford / Chevy analogy is purely coincidental with the other person who answered).\n\nRecently, AMD has been gaining market share of late at the expense of Intel because it's processors have been generally faster, better (more instructions per cycle, cooler running, consume less power) and cheaper than Intel's processors.\nhttp://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1120\nhttp://news.com.com/AMDs+market+share+gains+accelerate/2100-1006_3-5916167.html\nhttp://news.com.com/Intel+loses+market+share,+AMD+gains/2100-1006_3-5303705.html\n\nhttp://www.tgdaily.com/2006/04/14/amd_sun_energy_efficiency_metric/\n\nTom's Hardware Guide has CPU charts that graph the performance of AMD and Intel on different applications.\nhttp://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

if have a Intel in there u have to say with the "Intel" brand u can't put an AMD processor on a Intel Mobo.

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.

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.

Advantages of AMD\n1. AMD has the best gaming processors these daysas they have a larger cache \n2. Dual cores (in the X2's and even numbered FX's) talk directly to each other\n3. New Athlon chips have a dedicated memory bus, which means that they communicate with the computer's RAM on one line and the rest of the computer on another, rather than having all communication jammed into a single bus.\n4. Athlon has adopted Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) which is a processor-level virus blocker. Intel has plans to use this in the future, but Athlon has it now.\n5. Dual core seems to make all the difference .. AMD is leading the pack right now. And, they are cheaper\n6.AMD chips use less energy and are cheaper to equilivant Intel chips.\n\n\n\nDisadvantages of AMD\n1.if you choose AMD you are limited to DDR memory an Intel processor you can use the faster DDR2 memory \n2.AMD uses crystal® technology which i love it!! but if you give it hard work for long time the crystals start to burn and you will burn your CPU!!!\n3.AMD is less stable\n\nAdvantages of Intel\n1. People prefer Intel because they are familiar with it and so they have brand loyalty,\n2. in an Intel processor you can use the faster DDR2 memory \n3. INTEL® uses cabon™ technology which is not bad but if you work on TOO fast and HEAVY proccesing the carbon starts to warm and reduces the CPU REAL time\n4. AMD can give you better gaming performance, but since the graphics card is more inportant nowadays, I would go with Intel. Their chips offer better stability.\n5.Intel is much more suitable for office applications.\n\nDisadvantages of Intel\n1. Latest Intel models are really getting crushed by AMD for gaming\n2.on the dual core, the data has to leave the processor to go to the other core.
