Dear friends I hope this will help you people in someway. If this hurts u in anyway i apologies for that.
PROCESSOR WAR: AMD Vs. INTEL... and the best is...
Vs 
Many of us don’t know which the best processor is. Why this question arises? cos we need to own the best one. There the problem arises. People don’t know to choose a reasonable one that best suites for them. Not only AMD and Intel also there are some few processors in market but not that much popular and failed to attract regular people.
Okay let’s come to the stuff. Intel and AMD are the leading companies producing processors that are widely used all over the world.
Before going to discussion just look those facts:
*As a general rule, Intel has always been better at Office Apps and music/video encoding. AMD always seems to pull slightly ahead when it comes to game performance.
* The difference between them performance wise is soo slight, that I doubt the average person can spot the difference.
* Intel is the larger company with a larger piece of the market. For this reason, their prices are a little bit higher.
* AMD was originally an underdog and a favorite of the Geek Elite (in the early-late 90s), but have since risen to be Intel's primary rival. Their prices are still lower then Intel's.
*AMD recently merged with ATI, who makes video cards. So ATI video cards will probably start to be optimized for AMD CPUs in the near future, but for now, that shouldn't be a deciding factor.
* AMD was the first to create a 64-bit CPU and arguably sells the most 64-bit processors, but most applications and Operating Systems (Windows) are still written to using 32-bit code, so the extra 32bits aren't really taken advantage of.
* Intel has some 64-bit chips but they are largely dedicated to High-end Servers not laptops. Intel's Core2 Duo is only 32-bit.
Okay Now…
lets start with AMD ..
AMD is meant for gaming. For those people are games freak. They should use amd. It’s a dedicated processor for gaming which support high end graphics.
Also AMD is good for video playback.(only).
For Intel..
Best for office packages like MS OFFICE, and VB, oracle, and programming compliers. (AMD too can perform a better!). And also video conversions, using codec for video/audio Intel is the best. (AMD can use only for playback, not the best one for conversions).
One important technology that confuse people. It’s Multi-core
>>A multi-core CPU (or chip-level multiprocessor, CMP) combines two or more independent cores into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC), called a die, or more dies packaged together. A dual-core processor contains two cores and a quad-core processor contains four cores. A multi-core microprocessor implements multiprocessing in a single physical package. A processor with all cores on a single die is called a monolithic processor.
Lets understand the thing better.. AMD introduces the multi core processor with two cores as X2 models. And Intel releases it as core duo (dual core). Later they introduces Core 2 duo that has some modification in the architecture in dual core. Core 2 duo is just only a series model with some improved performance (up to 36% faster over dual core) Okay. Get it. So don’t confuse both things. It’s all about your wish to choose AMD or INTEL.
some Comparison and suggestions..
For music playback u can use either any processor. It not depends on which processor u r using. It purely based on the sound card u r going to use.
For gaming -- AMD
For video/music encoding -- Intel
for Energy Efficiency/Battery Life -- Intel
for Price – AMD
AMD can also used for some office packages but not recommended for heavy threaded software’s like Photoshop etc.
Many of my friends used to run same application and games in different CPU’s like AMD, INTEL models to check the performance. Performance is not only depends on processors, but also depends on what type of main board, how much RAM, video card memory you are using. If you choose Intel’s top end model processor and a low cost cheap motherboard then it’s ultimately a waste. A good combination will give you a better outcome.
Some people are just AMD people and others are just Intel people. For them, they have to compromise when their processor failed to achieve. This will happen for all Intel and amd users. IT’S ALL IN THE GAME.
Most of the time, it comes down to the personal preference of the person giving the advice or writing the review. So choose the stuff which best suites for you…
Intel has a slight edge on Heat and energy efficiency over AMD. So if you want to go "Green" -- Intel might save you a few cents a month on your energy bill (probably like 30 or 40 cents per month) .Also that energy efficiency might translate into 10-15 minutes of longer battery life (but most people keep their laptops plugged into an A/C Outlet anyways)
Intel generally has slightly higher "clock speeds" meaning their CPUs cycle faster, enabling them to process instructions quicker, BUT, in recent years, AMD has almost eroded Intel's clock speed advantage and because of AMD's RISC architecture - AMD is able to actually calculate MORE per clock cycle than Intel, causing some people to say AMD is a better chip.
Most people think amd will produce heat. But now they just introduce the cool and quiet technology... That reduces the heat and hence same like intel..
If u r really an amd lover and planned to buy laptop or a notebook close ur eyes, make ur heart harder and choose INTEL!! Even I am a amd fan. I would choose INTEL for laptop or notebook.
If you plan on running on battery ALOT, do a lot of converting and burning of music and/or video then go with Intel.
Otherwise, I'd say, save some money and go with AMD.
SOME PEOPLE WILL BLINDLY BUY THE LATEST AND TOP END PROCESSORS, WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR REAL USAGE. FOR THEM THEY THINK THE ARE UP TO DATE. BUT REALLY THEY ARE WASTING THEIR MONEY.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ALL PROS AND CONS -- MOSTLY COMING DOWN TO WHAT YOU PREFER THE MOST.
Have a Nice Day!!
