there are many different models of each, beware that a faster processor generates more heat and will decrease battery life, intel has more safeguards to shutdown the processor when it overheats, amd are cheaper for the same performance, Intel has more market share

Both are fully compatible with Windows, Solaris, and Linux. I prefer the underdog AMD. However, don't take my opinion only. Look at Tom's Hardware http://www.tomshardware.com/ for in depth CPU and other hardware comparisons. The articles are index and sumerized nicely.

AMD is cheaper but it works better in cold areas.
