i never even tried any intel thingy. AMD always was enough for me.
amd:
- hotter than intels
- faster @ games than intels from same price range
- better with ATI graphics cards
- cheap motherboards
- better low and mid end CPUs, worse highend CPUs (there are no AMDs for 300€ +)
intel:
- cooler than amds (better to overclock)
- faster @ video rendering and general calculation speed (but still slower with games
)
- better with nvidia graphics cards
- expensive motherboards
- worse low and mid end CPUs, better highend CPUs (stuff up to 1.000€)
both AMD and ATI have far better cost efficiency thats why i would always buy AMD + ATI.
