Ok so I also have a laptop with intel inside and it’s slow as hell! then I bought a another laptop but this time with AMD and it really works fast. I will always buy AMD. Intel sucks gigantic balls.

Breed your consumer young.
Assuming that people with less income are young, and not paying for the electricity bill, a 300W video card and a CPU that uses a insane amount of energy should not be a problem.

In the office, drawing CAD, using Word, Excel Powerpoint, I cannot think of a reason why anything beyond the Pentium M was developed. If you have the money, and rendering video is what you are doing, there is little reason to get a slightly slower system.

Gaming is a totally a different issue, but I think that AMD makes the decision to sell the chips cheaper and cater to younger people with less cash. Perfectly adequate for gaming, in the long and short term. The best i7 today will be trumped in about two years – 1200$ versus a 300$ today’s top AMD.

Everything depends of the application.

I would like some opinions and information. I have a HP Pavillion with an AMD processor. I was told that my AMD processor runs hot (this is how it was made) and it fried my motherboard which also caused my hard drive to have bad sectors. My computer is only a year and a half old. I purchased no extra warranty. HP is the worst company in the world to deal with. I have to eat the whole loss even though I found articles stating this is a common problem that within 10 years will be fixed with all the new nanotechnology. Well in the meantime, how do I determine the best computer to purchase? AMD may be a good product but if it is frying motherboards, why are they using them. From the research I have been able to find, Intel only has 1 processor that runs as hot as all of the AMD processors. So you with the need for speed, better have a full blown cooling system around your processor or it will fry your motherboard.

Any suggestions?

It depends on exactly which CPU is in each one.

hey, guys, stop discussion over intel and amd, both have, there own technologies to make a procesor, now they have brought core i second gen process with inbuilt hd graphics, which is there plus point, where as has not anything like this, if compared to fist gen core i processors, amd Phenon II X6 processors are far better than intel i5 and Lower i7 processors, where as intel i7 extreme edition is good than amd Phenon II x6, but intel causes Somestimes complexibilities and overheating, and amd make it’s processors cheaper and better than intel. hence if are getting to buy a processors lower than intel second gen core i processors, I recommend Amd phenon II X6, buy it, i also have good amd processor with whom i feel that i have a good processor

AMD is tough to beat AT THIS PRICEPOINT.

Jesus, how hard is that to understand for you people? I sometimes wish I was as retarded and ignorant as some of you because life would probably be much easier to cope with.

The i7 is a great chip. I agree, but saying that it can clock “this high” is irrelevant, it’s a 300 dollar chip! And for the record, I’ve seen more often than not that the ceiling for i7-920s is 3.9-4.0 GHz without AGGRESSIVE cooling. It’s a 45nm chip, for someone to say they run it at 5GHz on air is probably assuming you’re an idiot.
