The main players in the chip making business AMD and intel lets see which nigerians prefer.

definitely intel

yes AMD for me too.

marleygab: yes AMD for me too.

You asked d question 'WHY' Pls let's try 2educate each other here, tell us why!

Maybe in terms of graphics AMD seems d right choice, but when considering processors, AMD na shit, it can only be compared with Intel Celeron and not Pentium or all new Sandy bridge processors. No one will buy an AMD equivalent over an intel dual core processor except the two of you.

Intel. The Intel series cost more but offer alot more power, especially their iseries chips.

INTEL all the way!

Why would anyone prefer AMD in this part of the world? It's a heat producer. Except for folks in colder regions. AMD is preferred by such people especially in the winter season.

AMD because of our hot weather.

the life span of one intel machine equals two amds, amd produces heat!, they vga card are very inferior i.e they spoil quickly, am telling you this as an engineer.most amd machines dont last. its INTEL all the way! one question why do u think amds are far cheaper than intel.

AMD dual core all d way for graphics design though with a bit slower processor but compairing with dere newer models l tink dere is a great improvement in processor speed

You forgot to mention the Sandybridge 2 processors. The new i3960x processor would wipe the floor with any AMD processor.

I use a Quad Core AMD and its pretty fast. But given the choice I'd go with Intel any day

U took that from my keyboard ...u said it all man

I prefer Intel to AMD because of its ruggedness and higher processing speed. Its more quality compared to AMD, this is why its more expensive than the AMD processor. AMD might be better on graphics, the question we shoulb be asking ourselves here is "are we all graphic artists or do we are use our computers for graphics?".
thanks

Intel

Intel! Intel!! Intel!!! Cos I multitask, so processor speed needs to be high. To hell with graphics

AMD in my experience is cheaper, and better value for money.

Otoh, their chips run a little hotter I think

GRAPHICS - AMD
GAMING - AMD
If these are what you want from your system then go for the AMD....
And if AMD is not capable enough then go for those with NIVIDIA GPU and turn your computer into a video game>>>

AMD All d way....

cos of multitasking i choose intel

I think they are referring to CPU rather than GPU. If you had to choose a cpu would it still be AMD?

I will always go for INTEL anytime any day. AMD is always hot.

Oh God! Why would one compare intel and amd? If u r into system very well, I don't think u'd want to do that. The former is by far rugged than than the latter. Speaking from experience and I own the two both. Oh God! Why would one compare intel and amd? If u r into system very well, I don't think u'd want to do that.

Intel is great and long lasting.

Its not a mata of best e.g. In networking a typical question is which one is best (d one with switches / hub? Ansa: d one dat does d job as expected).
Thr is no need comparing both,even business centres clamour for new gen processors, r they necessary is d question? Wat does a biz centre dat just types n print using word 97 nid inte dual core for?
To conclude: if u r into dev / run high end SW get a processor dat match, for low level usage ? Get a 486 box n if u r on d extreme ? Get an itanium based box. My 2kobo.

If u hav enough money, buy Intel, its good. If u need value 4 money, go 4 AMD. Tel me d kind work which intel fit do wey AMD no fit do?.

High peformance gaming. AMD lags behind Intel in this area.

i used intel that was 2009-2010, but frm then till now i have been usin AMD athlonx2 and turion, it has been workin great for me, true is dat it produce heat bt it dosen't affect anyfin. I like AMD all d way

Atheist:-D:

if only u knw wat ur saying, u would hve keep quite, who said intel is better than AMD in gaming, i ve used the two. Dats a fat lie,

Amd ko PDP ni. Intel all the way. AMD generates too much heat and though high graphics but bad for performance sake.
