Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC, SEHK: 4335), founded in 1968 as Integrated Electronics Corporation and based in Santa Clara, California, USA, is the world's largest semiconductor company. Intel is best known for its PC microprocessors, where it maintains roughly 80% market share. Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network cards and other networking ICs, flash memory, embedded processors, and other devices related to communications and computing. Intel's core competency is based not only in its chip design capability but in its world class manufacturing operation; the company is at the leading edge of advanced process technology and also has advanced research projects in all aspects of semiconductor manufacturing, including MEMS.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (abbreviated AMD; NYSE: AMD) is an American manufacturer of integrated circuits based in Sunnyvale, California. It is the second-largest supplier of x86-compatible processors, and a leading supplier of non-volatile flash memory. It was founded in 1969 by a group of defectors from Fairchild Semiconductor, including Jerry Sanders. AMD's current Chairman and CEO is Dr. Héctor Ruiz. The current president and Chief Operating Officer is Dirk Meyer.

AMD is 15th among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders with revenues in 2005 of $3.9 billion.

AMD is best known for the Athlon, Opteron, Turion 64, Sempron, and Duron lines of x86-compatible processors.

On July 24, 2006, AMD reached an agreement to merge with ATI at a cost of $5.4 billion, subject to ATI shareholder, court, and regulatory approval. The merger is expected to close by Q4 of 2006.[1]

Answer 2

The only real difference is that Intel is a USA chip manufacturer, while AMD is a British manufacturer of microchips. They each have their own sockets and slots which are not compatible with each other.

Answer 3

Well Amd is meant for gamers. Intel is designed for Business use.

I c that amd is faster than intel in alot of benchmarks.

Amd athlon 64 5000 socket 939 is fast than the Intel dual core.

Intels dual core is piece of crap.

Answer 4

Intel has better marketing, but its chips arent better. AMDs chips are much faster, esp for gaming.

For example, for Intel Pentium 4 came out, it wasnt much faster than the Celeron at the time, so they had to reduce the bus bandwidth to make it "look" faster.

Answer 5

Yes AMD is faster in games.But intel is better for video editting.

Answer 6

different companies with different sockets

which are not compatible

intel has the huge market
