Which is better AMD Desktops Or Intel Desktops?


Thanks NGU!

So as I said, brand impressionism.

Amd for budget (don't get me wrong they are still good CPU's I personally have a amd fx 6100)
Intel for more power but at a steeper costs (I wouldn't recommend buying anything under an i5 if you're going with intel)

Point is, AMD CPU don't just 'screw up'. If they did I don't think anybody would ever buy them. The fact of the matter is that they're good budget CPUs.

Have you actually got any reason for assuming anything other than an Intel CPU will immediately deconstruct and 'screw up' or..?

I've been looking at the difference between AMD and Intel and I've now made my decision to go with AMD.

They seem to have better compatibility with other hardware whereas Intel is finding there is problems. It seems for the price for performance that AMD is better. Plus, it seems that even major corporations are switching and are using AMD rather than Intel for reliance.

I'm going to be getting the 8 core processor for my build here soon; going to pick up a laptop and then recount my cash to see when I can do my desktop build (since I need a laptop for school).

I'm perfectly aware of how the performance figures stack up for different applications and that's why I'll usually suggest AMD for budget builds and Intel for anything more than that (I had a large budget hence my Intel 3770k).

The thing is, if you only have say £120 to work with, you either for that money get a dual-core Intel i3 or an 8-core AMD FX. Barring any poorly optimised programs/games the AMD chip is going to perform significantly better, even if when comparing a single Intel core to a single AMD core the Intel core will come out on top. Heck, an 8320/8350 can even compete with an i5-3570k. Only once your budget for the CPU reaches around £230+ does Intel really come into the frame for me and that's solely because there isn't an AMD FX equivalent there. So as you said, AMD for low-medium budget, Intel for big-budget, barring special circumstance builds that may require strong single-threaded performance for example.

i would have gone with intel, better performance i think, but fact is, hyper threading with ability to run hotter and not fuck up. amds over heat easier than intel so since u went with amd id suggest a good cooling unit

That's not so accurate actually. As of late Intel chips run extremely hot unless you delid them, and that's something most people wouldn't be willing to do.

Also, only Intel i3 (dual-core) & i7 (expensive) chips have multi-threading. i5 does not. This is why the FX 8320/8350, which largely supports multithreading, can compete with an i5.
