FreeRyde Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 actually 1100t does pull out in front of i5 in video editing only because it has 6 cores and the i5 has 4Nope. The Intel CPU's power consumption is lower also.Admittedly, we're splitting hairs at this point.Here's several benchmarks:Site: http://www.anandtech.comCode: /bench/Product/288?vs=203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGLE Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 i choose intel because intel is well known and popular.. AMD is not that popular.. and there are rumors saying that their processor are bad, easily heat up... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel uses aggressive and underhand marketing that blocks AMD in many markets/countries. They have been doing this from inception because they have the capital to get it done. AMD does not waste money on aggressive marketing and it is part of their overall strategy to keep the cost down to make their processors more affordable. Trust me the profit margin on an Intel CPU is greater than 50%. Intel's prices are higher in general but it ties in with their marketing to make the customer feel egotistically superior by owning an Intel. Intel makes more money by blocking AMD today and paying them out from lawsuits later.Intel's pricing is not really based on the cost of manufacturing the product but more about the amount they want your ego to be boosted and your level of satisfaction. Even on their own website they make you feel that you absolutely need an i7 cpu for gaming and an i3 or i5 is only good enough for checking emails. ISP's trick customers the same way to sell their higher end products, they tell you that you need the highest bandwidth package to play games when in fact online games are optimized for low bandwidth connections and latency plays a more important role than bandwidth.All processors heat up easily, soon as you turn them on, it just so happens that at the current standing Intel cpu's use less power than AMD for the same TDP design. That could change at any time and it has in the past, Pentium 4 and Pentium D were epic failures due to their massive heat output and energy wastage. Not to mention first generation HyperThreading with its high voltage leak that added even more heat. In the early 90's and prior, AMD CPU did not come with thermal shutdown diode so they would burn out if they overheated however those things are in the past and all CPU's today come with thermal shutdown protection.

Atasas Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 to add to above- AMD is kinda underdog in political/greed wars- always will support them. BTW lately had poor luck- mainly I$tel's on my PC's :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olexijl Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have had Intel's Quad but i was retired of it. I needed motherboard using USB 3.0 so i went to my PC shop, they told me an AMD based system is future secure :lol:Having now Phenom II X4 955 ^_^No probs so far.

JohnnyBravo41 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have always been a faithful AMD user, but have had a few Intels over the past 24 years.....I recently built (2) custom gaming Rigs... the first was an AMD Phenom II 975 3.6 Ghz quadcore........ the second build was an Intel i7-2600K 3.4 Ghz quadcoreboth have Top Shelf ASUS MB'sboth have Thermaltake Level10 GT casesboth have Thermaltake 850w PSU'sboth have Corsair CAFA70 CPU cooler with dual 120mm fansboth have same memory - 16 Gig's of Corsair Vengance 1600 Mhz DDR3both have Win 7 Ult 64bit on a Crucial 128 Gig SATA III 6.0 Gbps SSD ( the M4 series )both have ASUS BluRay Burner & LG BluRay-Rom/DVD-DL Burner 'sboth have USB 3.0 on back I/O plate and on front Top panel ( case came with these )AMD has XFX 6870 1gig VC, Intel has XFX 6950 2 Gig VCAMD has SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro SC, Intel has ASUS Xonar SCAMD has ASUS 27" WS Monitor, Intel has HannsG 27.5" WS MonitorAMD has 2nd HD 450 Gig WD Velociraptor 6.0 Gbps SATA III, Intel has 2nd HD Hitachi 1.5 TB 6.0 Gbps SATA IIII seriously have found no gain on the Intel chip, being any faster ( and possibly slower in some aspects ) than my AMD 975 chip......however the new firmware out for my M4 SSD's ver 009, has my read/write speeds performing even faster with read up in the 500 and write over 400in the past Intel started performing and out pacing AMD during the Athlon Athlon II and dual core days ( sockets 754, 939, 940? ) Intel was running cooler and overclocking alot better.....but here in the past Year or more AMD has closed the gap to almost none at all....... yet AMD still maintains their lower pricing structure......JohnnyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oZ. Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 AMD provides the best dollar value ^ agreeAMD provides the best dollar value (for a low budge people)Intel provides performance.

raptorV Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ agreeAMD provides the best dollar value (for a low budge people)Intel provides performance. (for ppl who are willing to spend $1200 US +, like me)Had an AMD Athlon 64 which died in like 3 years..On the other hand, my old P4 still works fine..Currently, using an i7..So I would say that Intel may be expensive, but is wayyy more reliable :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfox1 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 AMD provides the best value, more bang for your buck I must be honest I have never bought an Intel not in 10 yearsI have never had an AMD die on me but I can't comment on what I have never used (ie Intel)I have even used Linux ??????????????? but with AMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniMatrix725 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It all depends on your budget. If you want the greatest 'bang for buck' I would recommend AMD most of the time, but if you're looking to spend quite some money on a powerful system then Intel might be my preference.He has a very good point!

House_maniac Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 i would go for amd, i have a phenom II x4 945 3.0ghz with 4gb ram ddr3 so far no prob.even through i heard bulldozer is a faillure so i would w8 to see what amd does next :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualbuffs Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 INTEL!!!amd is good if your processor is new...intel last for a long timeintel use only 1 core if needed it use bothunlike AMD high performance starting at windows logonintel is goodalso saves energy.... i have 1 amd i have 8 intel + 1 intel atom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 When I am splurging, it's Intel. When I get back to my senses, it's AMD. Seriously, I bought my Intel when I was loaded with dough. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
