I typically go with whichever processor provides the best bang for the buck at the time. My laptop is an Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor as it takes the least power and provides the best battery life. My desktop is an Intel 9550 quad core. My primary Linux desktop box is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ and my server box is an AMD Sempron 64 2800+. So, as you can see, I'm spread quite evenly.
I have both Intel and AMD - but no preference. The AMDs seem to be faster (on an apples to apples comparison with my laptops). But that is just an impression, no scientific statement.
For vanilla applications I prefer my AMD 4800+ over my Intel Q6600 quadcore. But for e.g. video editing or filetype conversion, the quadcore has the edge. Both are desktops.
Right now Intel, but way down deep
I'm an AMD fan.Last few machines were AMD
as a matter of fact my son is running my old
AMD box.
