Intel or AMD

Hi fellow IH members,

Basically the cpu is the brain of the computer. Which processor do you think is the best? I myself have to go with intel I never had any problems with a intel cpu but what about those AMD users what's you opinion?

Years ago, I built mostly AMD systems, but I had a lot of issues with the chipsets. Audio problems, drive issues, network issues, etc. Switched to intel processors and chipsets and everything was much smoother. My latest machine is a little Shuttle box with an Inel I5 and it is a speed demon. So, Intel for me :D

I also use to build AMD machines but now Intel just smashes them these days.

I currently have an AMD chipset in my rig and it's nice for the price. It has no problems, but Intel would blow it out of the water any day.

Intel. All the way. Especially in today's market and in terms of performance. It's a shame tho. I like AMD a lot. I built a computer when I was younger with an AMD processor and it was amazing.

[Guest Tiniziditan]

Intel of course !!!!

Seems like a lot of use to play around and build our rigs with AMD, I too was a fan of AMD especially in my competitive gaming days. Years went by and Intel just gets better and better, they had improved enough for me to enjoy and give good reviews on their processors...

[Guest ozdesi]

I will say go for intel if money is not a concern. AMD was good a decade ago but now intel processors are good for compatibility

[Guest lexicon9]

i've always had issues with AMD... INTEL for the win.

[Guest newyorker]

AMD forever.

[Guest Lazhy]

I thinks intel has a largest community than AMD

[Guest vinaytosh]

definitely INTEL . :)

[Guest craigalanp]

intel :D

[Guest fcm2009]

intel is more powerful but amd is cheaper

[Guest vasainath]

Intel

[Guest bluez]

Intel is better , but not necessarily faster , AMD is a mobile processor and so it cant cope with a lot of gaming and a lot of use.

[Guest WalkWithMe86]

Currently i use Intel and I never had any problems with a intel cpu.

[Guest eternalethelion]

INTEL without a doubt. It never failed me

Intel used to rule back in the day, but AMD has come a long way. If you look at their benchmarks nowadays, AMD is usually the faster of the two. So if pure speed is a deciding factor, you probably wanna go AMD. :)
