AMD Vs. Intel, Which is Better?

[entrana]

Hey guys this is a thread for posting amd and intel stuff, since this is in the fight club we post amd and intel stuffs here and specifications, and see whose better. hope this thread helps people

[gxsaurav]

Whatever provides the best Price-Performance ratio

I use Pentium 4, but I prefer Athlon64 now

Core 2 Duo is good, but Athlon 64 is cheeper....

Value for Money is all tht matters

[entrana]

hence the reason of the thread

[Pathik]

in desktops
p4<athlon64<pentium Ds<athlon 64 x2<c2d< c2q< barcelona
in lappys
celeron m< sempron m< pentium m< turion x2< c2d

[nish_higher]

c2d for lappys.and the same for desktops till there's some wonder by AMD.

[The_Devil_Himself]

Intel is now atleast one year ahead of AMD.C2Ds gave AMD a harsh beating.I don't know ahat will happen when Intel releaser their upcoming 45nm processors.

[Cool G5]

I have to say currently Intel core2duo's rocks.Regarding price i don't care even if intel is costlier than amd.

[Nav11aug]

I myself own an Athlon64 but C2D simply rox..

[entrana]

i wonder how the next gen amd wud be, and ive hear that intel is releasing octo core( 8 cores) i think is this true

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

Amd is good for me . Waiting for Barcelona core

Barcelona isnt even out yet, isnt it a bit too early to include it. If Intel can make a mess with Net burst, who says AMD is god!

Actually,Intel has plans of an 80-core processor called The Teraflop. 'Twas announced in IDF Fall 2006.

[entrana]

i wonder what anyone wud do with 80cores, and i dont even think liquid cooling will be able to keep 80 cores cool

[Nav11aug]

server side release

[entrana]

i dont think even server needs 80 cores man and how are they gonna fit damn 80 cores on 1 tenuous chip, 1nm technology?

[Nav11aug]

lol .. no .. i think itll be pretty big in size but theyre gonna use 45nm technology.. the announcement has already been made. I gave u a link to the post in my blog ... here agn http://naveendageek.blogspot.com/200...it-rocked.html

amd turion64 rocks

no way .. Turion <<C2d

buddy i am extremely happy with my turion performance, moreover i am not comparing or degrading c2d, it may be better. Hope you get the point.

[Nav11aug]

yup..

[entrana]

if ur happy with ur current proccy, good for you. but c2d is really powerful right now , and amd is trying to counter that with their upcoming chip lets see what happens then

[swap_too_fast]

i have just bought Core 2 D E6550 and its simply awsome.

Dont know about AMD but intel has following new family

Core 2 duo-- 2 ( i dont know what is the 2 , 4 and 8 stands for?, it may be cores or cpus)
core 2 quad - 4 cores
core 2 extreme -8 cores.

And there is amd 5000+ who has some little bit more performance than some of the core 2 duo processors below from E4400 processor.

[Who]

core 2 extreme is not equal to 8 cores , extreme means domination ( at least intel defines it by that) , so a core 2 extreme quad is more powerful & costly then a core 2 quad. also core more like cpus more cores better multitasking & if the game benefits from the more cores it will give better perfomence.

Also not to hurt anyone but if any person goes buys an AMD64 X2 i would call him stupid unless he wants to buy very cheap proc. sloution , if anyone wants to buy a proc. now he should go with core 2 quad because its future proof or he should wait for barcelona but a core 2 quad E6600 is very good choice , reviews show that C2Q E6600 can beat C2D E6850 in overclocking & in many other application, games etc.. so people go buy a quad , even though it costs more its 100% future proof.

[utsav]

where is celeron

i think buying a celeron proccy now is awful.one should go for atleast a E2140

intel will always rock as they hav large amount of money to support the research team.

Core 2 Extreme has extra cache makes all other processors bite the dust. The performance is TRULY mind-boggling

[The_Devil_Himself]

But when do you need such powerful performance?Its simply useless unless you have very deep pockets.

[entrana]

exactly a core 2 duo shud suffice

[Nav11aug]

ofcoz ofcoz... only if u hv the cash

[Cool G5]

BTW what is the cost of core2extreme?

^^kya pata.1yr back it was 50k
