Intel: 1) Brand name 2) Faster core speeds 3) Hyperthreading (most models) [tricks Windows into seeing "two" processors, improves performance some (5%-15%) in multi-tasking situations; on rare occasion can DECREASE performance slightly in some applications] 4) Newest chips support LGA 775 (new socket type) and the matching motherboards have PCI express (new add-on interface) and DDR2 memory AMD: 1) Price 2) Get more done per clock cycle (that is why slower chips can tie or outperform Intel chips) 3) 64-bit processing (on Athlon 64s only; not yet supported by Windows, but a 64-bit version is in the works, so in the future performance of these chips will increase) 4) On-chip memory controller (again, only Athlon 64s; this allows faster, more direct access to the system's RAM and increases performance in memory-latency intensive applications) 5) Generally easier to overclock (be carefull with ANY OCing, though) This will serve the discussion better

Pentium is the name of processors made from Intel. They used old abandoned architecture defined as "Netburst". They have long pipeline only to raise their clock. But this architecture was abandoned because Intel found that better architecture is that one used from AMD, with short pipelines.

Pentium is the name of processors made from Intel. They used old abandoned architecture defined as "Netburst". They have long pipeline only to raise their clock. But this architecture was abandoned because Intel found that better architecture is that one used from AMD, with short pipelines. So Intel began to made new processors, with Core architecture. Never heard about Centrino and Pentium-M ? That was an experiment...a Pentium with small pipeline...that is more efficient than old Pentium. I think that now the fastest processor is made from Intel...they are new redesigned "centrino", named Core 2 Duo, based on new architecture..very fast, even faster than AMD'dual core processors (X2). But I am an AMD fan...so I will not change my name and I will continue to buy AMD processors, because they are cheaper and excellent too in performance. Intel processors are always expensive!

i prefer AMD since i am using one.I use AMD because --comparatively cheap --high performance --high stabilty --greater support for gaming i recommned AMD FX 64 bit computing.It has many advantage over intel pentium 4 processors.but i heard that intel pentium duo core2 is much better than other precedures and a like performance with AMD 64.so i f you are going to buy a new computer either you go for AMD FX 64 or Pentium 4 Duo core 2. thank you!
