| 365206 | 2005-06-19 05:59:00 | I'm currently looking at purchasing a new pc, and want some advice on the age old debate: AMD or Intel. My primary concern is which would be best for audio processing related tasks. I will probably be doing a little dvd ripping/ encoding too. Thanks in advance |

| 365207 | 2005-06-19 06:08:00 | A rough generalisation: AMD for gaming performance Intel for application performance Just my :2cents: |

| 365208 | 2005-06-19 07:20:00 | A rough generalisation: AMD for gaming performance Intel for application performance Just my :2cents: Lots of people are saying that AMD is best for gaming and Intel is NOT good. Can I conclude that AMD out performs Intel in this area? I'm not a gamer and have not done any test on this and don't intend to. It will be interesting to know in what way AMD is better than Intel? Has anyone done any tests? The only difference I know is that AMD is 'slightly' cheaper than Intel; and that's all. I think it is really a matter of personal preferences - AMD or Intel, for ordinary computing, there shouldn't be any difference. If you like the Intel logo, go for Intel and likewise, if AMD looks better, go for AMD. :D |

| 365209 | 2005-06-19 07:27:00 | Have a look at www.tomshardware.com Interactive CPU charts The tests there should assist you in deciding which CPU best suits your need. Then all you've left to decide is how much to spend :-) |

| 365210 | 2005-06-19 07:49:00 | That would probably depend on whether you'll get a great benefit out of having 64bit processing capability, this will depend on what software you'll be running. Generally they'll perform pretty similar depending on how much you're spending. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 365211 | 2005-06-19 09:53:00 | From the benchmarks I've seen, many of the 3D performance areas are always taken by AMD, while Intel takes the business benchmarks, so I'd agreey with b1naryb0y's generalisation. | Growly (6) | ||
| 365212 | 2005-06-19 10:05:00 | Then you would be wrong. | Metla (12) | ||

My primary concern is which would be best for audio processing related tasks. I will probably be doing a little dvd ripping/ encoding too. Thanks in advance AMD CPUs cost less than Intel CPUs in general. Audio related tasks can be done in a way by both CPUs. You might think about sound cards rather than the AMD vs Intel debate. If you are really into Audio you can spend as much for a sound card and speakers as what it would cost for a whole AMD or Intel system. |
