Intel Vs. AMD

[cheez]

Ok, so who's the top dog now when it comes to system performance? Intel or AMD? Can you list a couple of models from each company that are highly competitive?


Thanks a tank.

is this a joke? the first page of the cpu forum is riddled with the answer to this

I'm lazy to look up or any researching.... too lazy. I used to be hardcore system bencher but that was nearly 10 years ago. I wanted to know how things have changed.

Would you buy Intel CPU, or AMD CPU? And why?


Thanks a tank.

Intel. The Celeron G530 is cheaper and faster than the Athlon II X2 260, the Pentium G630 will be shortly reduced to $75 and is faster than the Athlon II X3 445/450, the Pentium G850 will be shortly reduced to $85 and is faster than the Athlon II X3 460, the Athlon II X4 631 is $90 and better than all other options until $120. For $125 you'll have the Core i3-2120, better than the Phenom II X4 955/965. For $150 the Phenom II X6 1055T is better than anything until we get to $190, where starting with the i5-2400 Intel dominates everything else north. The i5-2400 is better than the FX-6100 and X6 1090/1100T, and obviously the i5-2500K is a better buy than the FX-8120 and 8150. The i7-2600K and up really have no competition.

Bulldozer has pushed AMD back into the lead. 8 cores > 4 cores, obviously.

Ok, this is not meant to be a flame. But if you are admitting to being "too lazy" (your words not mine) to do some research, then perhaps building your own system is really not for you?

There is no doubt in my mind that AMD has the highend market right now. Not only do they have double the cores, but they can run up to 4.2GHz! Intel has a lot of work to do to catch up. Hopefully they can stay afloat long enough because we need them for competition.

This. AMD has a huge lead due to moar cores. It's really quite the comeback, they have Intel on their heels.

 

[Rvenger]

I'm convinced!

Wow, thanks for the info. I'm overwhelmed. Great info.:thumbsup:

it's ok, none taken. I don't need to build a system as I already have a 6 year old Intel Conroe core system running at 3.3ghz. It's plenty fast even now I think. I wanted to catch up CPU stuff as I've been way behind on things. It would be embarrassing for an I.T. to not know this stuff...

I'm convinced!

I'm confused! now. Some guys here said AMD is faster while the others say Intel is better. Are ya saying Intel provides better performance bang for buck for end users like us? and AMD dominates in high end servers for businesses? Did I get this right?



thanks

You guys should check it out it's huge amount of cache. It is pure awesome.

Which one? AMD? or Intel? what processor

 

[Troll Trolling]

We are kidding with you sir.
The joke is that AMD throwed twice as many cores and cache at us, plus more clock speed, but it seldom beats Intel, and that is only on a few highly threaded applications.

 

[Maximilian]

Obviously AMD is top dog! They have an 8 core CPU with tons of cache for such a low price!!! Intels 8 core is like $1000.

My winzips never ran so fast since i got AMD bulldozer FX 8150 :thumbsup:

 

[Ferzerp]

You can't go wrong with Cyrix.

 

[pauldun170]

You can get an AMD with more cores or an Intel with fewer real cores that are faster and the same amount of logical cores that are still superior to the same amount of real cores as an AMD in most tasks.

What it somes down to is this.
AMD is the V12 in a 1990's BMW
Intel is the V8 in a brand new BMW

To put it another way (for those who haven't kept current)
Would you want a dual socket motherboard with two Williamette P4's running at 2.0 or would you want a single Athlon X2 3800?

You are mostly on-target here. I would argue that some great AMD options are available under $100. They are overclockable (unlike the Celeron/Pentium options) and are good alternatives. Cases could be made for either.

If you do not have a MC around, there is no better CPU between $150-200 than the X6. if you do have a MC, or get a good deal elsewhere, the i5 is better.

 

[cheez]

Thanks for the jokes and analogy... I'm clear now the differences between the two and what AMD did with their Bulldozer. The name sounds funny to me.

Much much thanks

Is everyone forgetting ARM? It will be the #1 CPU once Win8 is released. And it will only use 2 Watts!

I think we tortured this guy enough This thread did give me a good laugh.

Nah, MIPS is where it's at. I mean, omg they so will supplant x86 in ALL THE APPLICATIONS!

Some say it runs off a potato.

 

[Ferzerp]

How do they fit the potato in to the iDevice? I mean, wow, it is faster than my desktop! why are you losers still using x86! I'm sure they implemented it with the potato!

 

[Edrick]

MIPS is a killer CPU. But I think Alpha is slightly better than MIPS. How I dreamed of owning an Alpha workstation.

this is a parody post i hope...
