Or for head-to head comparison of various CPUs:

Answer 2

The main difference is clock speeds and cache; however, finding specs that show you overall performance as a number is a little difficult. Most people will put Intel on the top as best performance, but you can get a really good AMD processor for a couple hundred USD less in most cases. Most users won't take full advantage of their processors though, so getting a decent mid range processor whether it's Intel or AMD will probably make for a machine you will be happy with. Tomshardware.com is a great place to start comparison shopping different builds based on benchmarks (standardized tests for computer performance). You'll see Intel out perform AMD on some and AMD outperform Intel on others. Look to see which benchmarks fit to your main usage and go with the top perform

Answer 3

This is probably the biggest can of worms you can open short of AMD vs NVidia. The outcome of the buying decision depends on three things: aim & usage scenario, budget and features required. If you're looking at a moderate enterprise setup then I would personally go with Intel Xeon's over AMD Opterons purely based on experience with Xeon technologies. If you're needing an extremely low powered CPU for a laptop then I would go with Intel's 4th generation Core i5's and Core i7's codenamed Haswell. AMD are yet to match the performance they output for the power draw they have. If you're going for a middle of the road gaming system for about $1500 then you can't really go wrong with either. This is where the required features come in: PCIe 3.0 though not essential is something Intel have that AMD do not. The new Z87 chipset for Core i5 and Core i7 come with 8 SATA 3 ports - these are the little things that differentiate each CPU, chipset and associated motherboard. You can't have a general Intel or AMD answer.

Answer 4

There is really no overall best processor Brand. IT is all up to the user and what they want to do. I use AMD for most of my builds as it is a little cheaper and still holds it own on everything. Sometimes however, I will use Intel in certain cases.



Anyways, good luck with this discussion... You will have AMD and Intel Fan Boys commending on this question. I am Neutral.

Answer 5

Overall Intel tended to perform better than comparable AMD but Intel is also more expensive.. My suggestion: if it's going to be mostly gaming, stick with AMD and save money toward bigger hard drive, more RAM, and bigger monitor.

Answer 6

AMD uses a bit more power, though their products are extremely reasonably priced.

Intel uses little power, though the power efficiency makes them tons more expensive.

Overall, I choose AMD because they generally have much better deals for much better performance, and not to mention, more cores, generally.

Answer 7

I'd say Intel are better than AMD.

Answer 8

i5 3570k or 4th gen equivalent



i5 3470 is equal to 8350 however amd draws x3 to get same performance



i5 3330 is equal to fx 6300 the performance of both of these chips is almost equal but amd pulls like 30 watts more

Answer 9

general - simply AMD is good for gaming and for people who do graphic designing but INTEL is for multi taksing and home and office use :D

price wise - AMD is expensive and INTEL is cheap

energy saving - AMD is power saving while INTEL consumes power alot
