what is better intel or amd? what is the difference?

Both are equal, Intel might be a 'bit' better, but that hardly matters. The thing separating them is price. AMD processors are much cheaper than their Intel counterparts.

None better because each processor, AMD and Intel Pentium, has each benefits but usualy AMD cheaper than Intel Pentium so if you choose AMD you can get processor with performance as well as Intel Pentium with less cost.

I'd say it depends on what you need to do.  BUT, I prefer Intel processors for laptops.  Someone said that AMD processors run hotter than Intel, they do.  And AMD processors are not as power efficient as Intel when it comes to mobile processors.  That being said, AMD has a dual core 64-bit Turion processor for laptops.  This means you can run 64-bit applications but note that there aren't many, save for Windows x64 and some versions of Linux.  That being said, many programs are not supported under 64-bit environments, those that use 16-bit installers for example.  Most computers with 64-bit processors just come with Windows XP home or Pro (32-bit) which is fine and what I reccommend, only you can't run 64-bit programs in that case (again, not many out there).\n\nNow we come down to it.  It turns out that the Core Duo processors from Intel are faster and more efficient than the AMD Turion 64x2.  You decide, but I'm sold on Intel as far as laptops are concerned.  Note, I still prefer AMD when it comes to desktops because AMD desktop processors still crush Intel.  Intel has caught up in the mobile world, it'll be a while before I trust my desktop to one.

The AMD Athlon is better for gaming..and the Intel Pentium is better for multi-tasking stuff..so its up to you..go by what you plan to do the most with your computer

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.

Look, don't listen to all the nay-sayers.  They are instinctively defending the underdog, which in this case is AMD.   AMD has always been the inferior brand and the proof is in the fact that Intel had always dominated the CPU market.  For every favorable AMD statistic they throw in your face, there are 5  statistics that favor Intel.   Stick with a winner.  AMD is for people who favor the underdog.  You would be wise to bear that in mind.

Not, it's no equivalent, but I don't think it would make that much difference.  You're going to pay more for the Intel, but the AMD is probably just fine.

AMD has the best gaming processors these days. Go with an AMD FX or X2 processor. Many people prefer Intel because they are familiar with it and so they have brand loyalty, but the latest Intel models are really getting crushed by AMD for gaming. AMD may show a slower clock speed than the Intel chips, but they still end up faster for a number or reasons. First of all, the dual cores (in the X2's and even numbered FX's) talk directly to each other, but on the dual core Intels, the data has to leave the processor to go to the other core, I believe through the North Bridge, which slows it down comsiderably, and kind of defeats the purpose. Also, the 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, like with Intel. On a side note, as it doesn't deal with gaming but should still be noted, 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.\nAlso, if you plan to build a good gaming rig, you should know that athlon and Nvidia fit together like a glove. Athlons also tend to run cooler than Intels as well as being more stable.\nIf you have plenty of cash, and are building a system, I'd recommend an ASUS A8N32-Deluxe Motherboard, and Athlon AMD FX-60 Processor, dual Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX's from BFG, and 4GB or Corsair memory. (and if you're really loaded, buy me a set, as well) The slightly more budget model (although still not cheap) would be the same motherboard, an Athlon AMD 4200+ or 4400+, dual 7800 or 7900 GT's and 2GB or RAM.\nTrust me, AMD is the way to go. I just did a lot of research to upgrade my system, and everything I found showed AMD kicking Intel's @$$.

It depends on wat kind of applications u work on. Dual core is good if u want 2 use multiple applications at da same time. It wont giv u any more advantages,it takes more power & more money from ur pocket.I say u go with Pentium 4 3.2GHz, coz its more faster & less power using dan dual core.If u want u can also buy AMD FX 57. Its very good & IC Chip(The best comp magazine) rated it da best proccessor. U can buy dat if u want. But if u still want intel, u buy P4 3.2 GHz

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.

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

I depends on what you use it for AMD Athlon is better for gaming and Intel Pentium 4 is better if you want to convert DVD to avi or something like that.

Generally the AMD processors run more operations per clock cycle than the Intel chips. Intel can make thier cpu's run faster and faster but when you do the math a slower processor that can perform more operations per cycle wins every time.

For AMD definitely go for a Socket 939 processor. This the newer and better socket vs. the old socket 754.\n\nFor Intel go for the socket 775. The 775 is Intel's newest socket.\n\nI like both brand of cpu's and will recommend them both to anyone. I will recommend a gamer an AMD cpu and a Video editor etc an Intel cpu. So each cpu has their advantages and disadvantages.

I depends on what you want. personally i prefer AMD X2's but that will soon change to AMD 4x4 and 8x8. Core 2 Duo's are ok, but i dont like intel. thats personal preference i guess. really the best chip in theroy is the quad core intel. notice i said in theory. IT;s slightly buggy in real life. dual core Xenons are good too and will give u a server pretty much. also remember that a processor can only be as good as the rest of the computer lets it be. if you only have 256mb of ram, no matter how fast the processor, your performance is gonna be terrible.

Simply put.  If you want a gaming computer, AMD is the best choice.  If you want an overall computer that is also gaming, Intel is best.  But, if its strictly gaming, AMD.

INTEL(R) CORE (TM) DUO.\n\nPersonally I love INTEL more but AMD is better for games but overall INTEL is better!!
