Author Topic: AMD or Intell? (Read 1976 times)

Well I am getting a new Desktop computer but I don't know if I should get an AMD Desktop or an Intel Desktop. I'm getting this computer mostly for gaming but also for multimedia (Fireworks 8 and stuff). Also, if anyone knows a good website for buying PC's that would also be helpful, it just can not be Dell and has to be under $500.

I've never had Intel, but I am pleased with AMD.

I never cared about cpu. i end up using whatever one goes into the mobo i want. that's where all the features really are, alot more important to have what you want in the motherboard.

Intel is alright, but AMD has a sort of wider range of choices and may be cheaper in some cases.

My Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 has yet to let me down <3
I had an AMD processor before, was a good one. Only single-core and 2.2 GHz though, so being slow was not a problem just that its old.

From a lot that I've researched, Intel will have more performance but AMD will last longer.

I choose AMD. And I'm happy with it. :)

Okay, so if AMD is just as good as intel why does it cost so much less?

Eh, I would go with Intel. It seems that it is a lot less crashy.

Grumpy · July 30, 2009, 08:55:25 PM

Because the companys probably can buy the materials for less and create them for less.

.. Processors can crash?

But they're both just made of plastic and tin. :/

I went with an i7 because it was a new chip type, supported DDR3 memory, and just seemed awesome overall.

But it's so expensive. D:

Yep. I think it was worth it.

I <3 AMD because they perform better at a different speed. That's what the 4 digit number means in the name. That is what they perform like compared to Intels. ( I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.)

Pay attention to resolutions in this next one.

AMD wins.
