| 231377 | 2004-04-23 20:30:00 | Besides the issue of speed (of which I think theres very little difference with comparable systems) AMD definitely gives you more bang for your buck. Ive previously always had intel but my last pc is an AMD and Im very happy with it. | parry (27) | ||

| 231379 | 2004-04-24 00:26:00 | The Pentium is both cooler and kewler :D | Greg S (201) | ||
| 231380 | 2004-04-24 00:33:00 | Bogus. The EE cpu's have been reported as running extrmely hot,to my knowledge the 64-bit amd cpu have no such isuues. Pity everyone seems to base there opnions on the 1.4 athlon from yeststeryear,instead of looking at the data on on the recent chips which are being asked about. |

Intel . many of threads have lead to be locked about this . but alas i shall once again stick my 2 cents in . Australian Hardware Mag, Atomic has voted AMD best CPU of the year for 2003 . hows that for fact . i have owned many AMD's, and own a 2700+, and a AMD 700Mhz . i mostly use Apples PowerPC CPUS now . </2cents > |

| 231382 | 2004-04-24 00:49:00 | Here is what I have found: Intel users may become fans of AMD AMD users will NEVER become fans of Intel I don't think there is really a real answer to this question as to which is better. As for Jams comment that said AMD won the processor of the year in a Australia magazine, I accept this, but does he mention the other awards that Intel has won? As metla said, both of the CPUs mentioned in the starting thread are based on chipsets that are close to been "dead" Thus, if performance was the key, and the starter of the thread has the patience to wait, then, I too, suggest s/he wait for the outcoming chips. |

| 231383 | 2004-04-24 00:55:00 | meh....Just noticed the thread starter never mentioned the EE chip,which is something i have been referring to in my posts. My mistake. Amd or Intel,both make a good product,if i was getting one for free i would be happy with an intel. if i was spending the dosh then i wouldn't even consider an Intel. |

| 231386 | 2004-04-24 03:10:00 | I think you'll find that you are actually incorrect there. From about the 3.0Ghz P4 upwards Intel claimed the crown of having the hotest CPU. There is a reason the Prescott core was refer to as a mini heater all over the internet. Granted the Thunderbird and Palmino athlon cores were HOT, but the new barton and clawhammer cores are no where near as hot and in most case cooler than a compariable P4. The heat arguement has been every intel fanboys arguement for the last 2years, but using it today just shows ur ignorance. I think you'll find that the reason the a large portion of AMD owner have lots of fans is because they practise the dark art of overclocking. Which of the noobs out there increases the heat the CPU gives off, thus requires more fans to cool. Both processors have their strong points the P4 has hyperthreading and high clockspeeds, the Athlon has 64bit capabilites and better bang for your buck. Oh and AMD processors arent slower than just arent as scalable as Intel, at the same clock speed the Athlon cleans house with the P4. It just that AMD and Intel take different paths in terms of what they feel offers better preformance. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
