The Great Debate: AMD vs. Intel

[xtreme2k]

PROCESSOR-wise
AMD has a better design than intel's P3 since it is a much more modern design


STABILITY-wise
Intel wins due to their all time favourite BX

AMD aren't going to kick intel unless their supporting platform are stable

After looking at that again, I kinda have to disagree with this one point. I think the truth is actually &quot;Intel has historically had a much lower total cost of ownership then VIA or ALi and there is no evidence that this has changed&quot;.

But wholey agree with the rest.

Lo again,

After reading the recent posts i am wondering why a company like nVida would be planning on going into the motherboard chipset market and possibly (dont know for sure as i dont know enough of the details like u guys) be doing chipsets with integrated video etc for &quot;AMD&quot; systems? Surely if a company like this is going down this avenue it shows that they at least must have some faith in the future of the AMD based system as a Business solution? hmmm?
I dont know too much about the details of the above but would like to hear some opinions on this and the implications it will have

rockhard =)
