Which is better in value per performance built, intel or AMD?

You should go for AMD if you are a gamer that was AMD designed for. Just make sure you have enough cooling systems on that because AMD requires well designed cooling system for better performance. If you are just average user go for Intel although they could run better with games but not as good as AMD. And also AMD sucks with internet performance we have done testing comparison with the two and Intel performs better with internet I don't know what technology Intel has done to have an edge with AMD regarding Internet connection that's what we have noticed.

intel is better.because inter's Compatible is better.the best important for computer is compatible.ever i repeat installing my os, but amd computer not let me finish.of course, now AMD' compatible become better.but inter do much work,so i believe it.i think AMD should Develop moving computer CPU,and that is it's Advantage, AMD can let CPU Energy little.thanks for see my comment.

Well, personally I prefer Intel (just because i use it) Yes, as some ppl said above, it will depend on your budget. For me, I spent $1200 (tax incld.) for my gaming pc.

my choice to use AMD will work smart for gaming and graphics area(3D Max,Maya,..).it produce enough heat while working country like USA,UK,AUSTRALIA and countries in north pole area which accept the heat of the processor and work fine.but country like India,Arabia,Dubai,Singapore,gulf are too heat for that we must use intel processor which produce less heat and work in 100 degree temperature.final request for gaming use AMD while you are in north pole and use Intel for application process and in moderate temperature like India

try to think of this setup.. i wish i had one.. Socket 1366 Core i7 Ready Dual Triple Channel DDR3 Memory support Overclocked Intel Core i7 975 3.60GHz 8MB Quad Core CPU Alienware High-performance cooling system Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI radeon HD 5870 (crossfir enabled) 6Gb and 12Gb triple channel 1600Mhz DDR3 2TB Raid 1+0 (4x 1TB SATA II 7200 RPM 32MB Cache) 6x dual layer blu ray disc burner Soundblaster X-FI Titanium

AMD to play futured games like DIABLO 3...

first of all your criteria in value=performance is it based on high-end spec or mid-end spec if I may know? below are my fav spec in terms of value=performance pc for gamers : high end spec: - Intel Core2xtreme / Intel i7 Xtreme - high grade motherboards (gigabyte/asus/DFI) - min 4gb kits RAM (DDR2) or min 6gb kits RAM (DDR3) - VGA ATI HD 4770/ HD4870/HD 4870X2 (no need for Crossfire,coz its powerfull enough already IMO) Mid End Spec : - AMD Phenom X4 / AMD Phenom II X4 - point 2,3,and 4 are the same as above :peace: in terms of the price..... Intel based always higher than AMD in the markets ..... coz Intel is way more powerfull than AMD IMO :peace: anyway happy building your new RIG :shakehand:
