    AMD or Intel


    So which company do you personally feel has the best processors? I used to be an AMD fan until Intel came around with the Core i7 900 series.

    Intel has the speed edge buy a small degree, AMD has the bang for the buck buy a huge degree! Hands down AMD unless your business requires the maximum power to compete and even then as fast as things get out paced the AMD still makes a strong case......in my opinion!

    Intel right now. And I don't think that AMD is necessarily best bang for the buck. At the highest level Intel chip..it's expensive. but a Core i5-650 competes with an AMD-1090T 6 core and the Intel is actually cheaper.

    Nope. All air, and my temps have been staying below 40 C actually. Right now my CPU is 29 C. This is the Core i7 920 without overclock and it has a thermaltake V1 cooling kit on it. I messed around a little bit with overclocking it, and even at 4.2 GHz my temps were well within the safe zone, but I noticed no increase in performance. This leads me to believe that my graphics card is the bottleneck.

    AMD guy, even though I have an Intel in my current box. I'm sorry, but a six-core processor for ~$250? Versus ~$1000 for a comparable Intel? 0.o I think I know where my money's going.

    You miss the point.

    While the AMD Six core 1090T is $260
    Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX


    .....a comparable performing chip from Intel is the Core i5-760 and it runs $208
    Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX


    Just because the Intel is only a quad core doesn't necessarily mean that it's not on par with the AMD.

    Hahaha. You missed the joke completely.

    Anways, I'd get an Intel if they weren't so pricey. But I love my AMD Quad-Core 965. Gives me more than enough speed for the cost.
