in nearly every case the intel cpus are easily superior to amd (cpus)
i would never use an amd if i had the choice. amd cant seem to make a proper cpu.
they rolled out with that bulldozer stuff and all the amd people lasted about a week of bragging rights before they all realized what a waste it was.
The things had this broken fake hyper threading, and really didnt clock any better then the intel's 2yo quadcores.
video cards it depends, (nvidia/amd) they take turns every 6 months having a new line of models that clock higher.
though that hardly means much anymore.
amd video cards STILL do not have a fix for multiple monitors that allocates the proper needed resources to the gaming screen.
it simply cuts itself in half regardless that you are wasting the power of your card on msn chats and youtube on that other screen.
