I've been an AMD user for years, but here's my 2 cents...


With Intel's new technology it is hard to choose otherwise.

Imagine a processor with 800mhz FSB and Hyperthreading (I'll Explain)

First of all you have the enormous speed of the FSB which will increase performance exponentially, then you have Hyperthreading. Hyperthreading allows an operating system to execute 2 threads in parallel.. This basically acts like a dual processor system with an actual Physical processor being your first CPU, then an addition logical Processor being your second processor.


Now take AMD's technology.

Newest chips will have a 500mhz FSB and max out at a low frequency which by default on their chips is overclocked anyway which makes the processor run extremely hot. Also they offer nothing similar to the Hyperthreading technology giving them another disadvantage. Overall there is nothing really to say in defense of the AMD because it is obviously the lesser of 2 technologies.


With this information I don't believe any right minded person could choose an AMD over an Intel.
