People are fanboys for certain brands. The performance of both companies chips go back and forth. The Athlon64 beat out the Pentium 4, but now the Intel Conroe Core2 beats out the Athlon 64. It's a cycle that works for the best since consumers get faster chips as a result of the competition.

AMD is a little more expensive and have a lower clock speed. But they have better support for programs and are faster for thir intel counterparts, But it all comes down to personal opinion. And, Budget.

For me, it is just personal experience. An old AMD Athlon 1500 GHz running Win98 on my machine beats my wife's newer Intel running XP in just about all categories as far as boot, program starts, web browser and shutdown. I don't know if it is the XP. I do appreciate the convenience of XP but I despise the fact that my scanner has no driver available to hook up to her machine.

AMD IS JUST CHEAPER TO BUY THATS ALL..... DONT BUY THE HYPE ~ i RUN A PAIR OF INTEL XEONS;
Intel Xeon Dual-Core 5160 3.00GHz Woodcrest Core 1066MHz FSB, 4MB Cache, EM64T, LGA771 Socket 771/J CPU Processor: BX805565160P (Retail with Passive Heatsink and 3-Year Intel Warranty) (Non-Refundable)
But very very few humans can push a monster that fast to its limits, power is relative to $$$ honestly how many folks really need this kinda setup? very very very few...
I think WIZARD SAID IT BEST AND SIMPLEST ~ CHEERS
CPX7IN65160P$905.99 FOR EACH CPU ALONG WITH 4 GIG OF CORSAIR OVERCLOCKING MEMORY @ 6.991 GIG HEHEHE WE FAST~

They say it is better because even though it has a slower clock speed than Intel, it can run much faster, open apps and games much faster, and is way easier to overclock it and gets way better speeds when overclocking.
