When it comes to either building or buying a new computer one the things you have to decide on is what processor (cpu) will be controlling everything in your computer. You have the choice of either AMD or Intel and if you don’t know much about computers it may be hard to make a wise decision on which one to purchase. Lucky for you I have built computers that have used both AMD and Intel and I know a thing or two about computers as well.
What AMD Brings to the Table

AMD is known for being the company to go with when you are building a kick backside gaming computer. What AMD lacks in data crunching it makes up for in pure FPS which for a gamer is the only thing that matters. Almost every benchmark you look at for an AMD chip has that chip out performing a similar Intel chip when it comes to games. But maybe you don’t play games, does this mean that AMD is completely worthless to you? Absolutely not, AMD also has the cheapest processors, allowing you to get the most bang for your buck. At the time of this writing you can buy an AMD Phenom II X4 965 (the top of the line) for a penny under N24,000 do you want the top of the line Intel chip? Well you better be ready to drop around N100, 000 on just the processor alone. Not only that but the Phenom II processors can stand their own against Intel’s offering.

What else does AMD bring to the table? Their processors are able to operate at much more extreme temperatures while also staying cooler than Intels under normal use. The reason why this is good is because you can use liquid nitrogen to cool the AMD processor and it will run just fine where as the Intel does have a chance to break under such extreme temperatures.
What Intel Brings to the Table

Their processors are bar none, top of the line. If you want the best of the best you will have to go with Intel because all they offer is the best. Intel almost always comes out on top overall in benchmarks against AMD. Why is that? Probably because they updated their chip architecture, and are so innovative they are almost always one or two steps ahead of AMD. Right now the new Intel chips completely by pass the need for front side bus. Because of this you get a much much faster processor able to handle much more. You can also overclock the new Intel “i” series chips much easier because you can do it without even doing anything. The chips will automatically overclock when you need the extra power, this can in theory help out with games as well.
What is Right For You?

Are you a hardcore gamer looking to build your computer? If you are then AMD is most likely the way to go. You will save money buying an AMD chip and then you can use the money you save to spend more money on a newer graphics card and thus your games are going to look that much better. If you aren’t going to play a ton of games and will do more work with your computer then I would say hands down go with Intel. You can buy an i5 chip for a similar price to the Phenom II X4 and they perform a little better than the Phenom too. Now if you are just buying one from Dell or Gateway I would go with Intel unless the price difference is substantial with going AMD however last I checked it’s not a major change in price.
What do I use now?

I owned a Phenom II X4 for a few months before the heatsink gave out and it burnt out. When that happened I decided it was time to upgrade to an Intel system. The reason I didn’t earlier is because the newer AMD chips use the same motherboard socket so you can upgrade without buying a new mother board and save some money. With Intel I would have to buy a new motherboard which then requires a new type of memory so it would cost me much more money to upgrade. Anyway since my computer died on me and I wasn’t positive if it was just the processor or if it was more than that I decided to just upgrade to an Intel i5 system. It was not like night and day between the 2 systems however I do notice a pretty good difference between the i5 and Phenom II series of chips. Programs open faster and their is much less hang time between doing multiple things. For me Intel just works out better for me, most of my gaming is done on my[b] PS3[/b] so I don’t even have the “greatest” graphics card anyway.

With the way technology evolves it’s always a good idea to do a little research before buying anything. Just google the processor you are looking at for benchmarks. This will usually give you a good idea as to which processor to get. In the end neither company is better than the other, they both have their own pros as well as their own cons.

I predict AMD will be bought out soon and their chips used for other things apart from computers.

They just can't keep up with Intel sadly as competition is good for the consumer.

Check out the new Intel Nehalem processor - AMD has no answer for this.
From a presentation i attended with IBM, Intel is going to drop their latest 6 core processor in the next 2 months - YES THAT IS 6 PROCESSORS in ONE, simply AWESOME so soon your basic 2 cpu box will have 12 CPU's in it.

If AMD has any fight in them now is the time to counter - we shall see!

kosovo, kindly post the original links to the article

. .lol, u beat me to it

the more this debate goes on the more irrelevant it gets.
way i see it, not everyone wants to use a pc for high perfomance stuff so for people like that AMD is a nice alternative.

otherwise, i really dunno if this intel better by miles thing is the case. u neva can tell with all these sponsored pr posts on tech sites. whichever way, everyone has a niche. similar specs and a different processor can mean as much as a 30 grand difference in price ! hey a buyer knows what he wants!

@oyb
what do you mean?
i should dissect my brains and put it here?

I have seen this very piece in 2 other places and none of them has a link back to the real author or any credits.
Its best we just make do with any knowledge we can get from the article while we rest assured this was written by a fellow bored geek out there.

This one wey no author dey for this thing, are you sure this isn't one of my works? I'll need to check my writeups to confirm, cuz the resemblance is striking!

Until otherwise proven, I am the author of this article!

Quoted in case of incasity.

I always knew this Kosovo dude is dodgy.

I'm very much interested in whatever he has to say.

U r so right. Lot of pple ask me to help them get a pc in 9ja and they always request for intel and nothing else. I sometimes think they don't really know the diff btw the processors but decided to go with what others are saying. At the end they end up paying more. I have AMD in my pc by the way.

where is KOSOVO? in Croatia

Kosovo stay indoor neva appear until the issue dies down!!!
_{y am i still laughing n crying, chei oyb no go kill me ohhhhhhhh}

@oyb, i agree with u,but u should hav shown some kinda appreciation before asking 4 link, @kosovo, thanks 4 d info.i already had 30% knowledge of such article.,IMO,like oyb,there is need 4 a link or reference so that AMD\intel users can be fully convinced.

Kosovo. It is proven and a proven fact. You are a cheat. Fact.




I have a dual core and am upgrading to a quad core soon for my music pc. I am a fan of AMD, you get more bang for your money when it comes to personal computing. 

AMD do not sucks. If anything, it is a very good platform.

For the record, the Intel v Amd have been done to death on the internet.




Nice one OYB

The slowpoke forgets that Google have other uses apart from it use as a search engine.

I remember my time in Uni, couple of idiots did the same. Needless to say, my university employs software that can tell where a text was taken from the net. It is very accurate too.


I have upgraded my signature.

But seriously wetin be una problem.
Kosovo in no way stated he was the one who wrote this and I have strong doubts he posted this with the intention to give the impression that he wrote it.
In the first place I have a phobia for lenghty stuff so i dont really read long posts, i just scan through. When I went through this, i just took it like it was, a good article written by me or someone out there

You should come to the politics section to see his post. Then you will understand why some think he is a clown.

He stated clearly and gave the impression it was his handiwork [when it isn't]

Kosovo why naa you really fall my hand o

Calling Kosovo an **censored** is strong and unfair though  

Ok, so as its stands now, it is clear Kosovo didn't write this. what isn;t clear now is whether I (DC) or Cody wrote this. I still hold the claim sey na me write am. Anybody challenges this and we going to court.

his original post has far too much 'I' inside it  - and when queried he asked about dissecting his brain

and to be honest, imho, he sometimes does the same in the games section.

it does not take anything from you to post the original links

he did not even bother to put his original post in quotes.

see as he has given el razur ammunition - _{i dey fear oh el razur must be stalking kosovo through nl small time kosovo fan club go fall in . . .}

He is a clown and a faker. Two things I really do not like.

No need to stalk him, he is doing a good job of showing himself up.

Kosovo, my Chambers dey wait ya call 
Don't speak until you see ya lawyer.

I will have to charge you triple cuz I am just seeing some wicked evidence (that i didnt see in my haste)
