Inel or AMD?

My last ten computers were AMD.

I just brought an intel and plan on switching from AMD to more P4's in the future.

imho this thread is another flamebait thread, you should buy whichever gives you the best performance for the least money.

Yeah after yesterday this is getting sorta annoying.
 
I really don't have a preference. With that said, I am CHEAP so which ever processor that gives me the most bang for the buck, and that has ALWAYS been AMD.
 
Well, based on the results that were "revealed" when anand tested the A64 in long mode with XP64 beta, the encoding crown may not be Intel's solely anymore. Aside from that, AMD has definitely decreased the gap (law of dimishing returns in clockspeed) and there's no real dispute about its superiority in business apps and gaming. It amazes me that AMD can make CPU's that are demostrably better than Intel's for the kind of apps a company is looking for, on TOP of that charge significantly less...and still trail by such an enormous margin in corporate desktop market. Oh right, it's all because of Intel's PC subsidiary, Dell. *sigh* I go with whoever has the price/performance crown at the time. (Unless I am building a purpose-specific machine...the 3.0c I have is an encoding machine, and I am building a multi-purpose Dualie Opteron box). Right now, it rests squarely on AMD's Copper interconnect and SOI head. End of last generation, I bought 2 P4C's. My recent purchases looked like this:

1800 x1

2200 x1

2500 Barton (x6...yes, six of them)

2.6C x 2

3.0C x1

A64 2800+ x1
