I can tell you a few reasons on why I ALONE perfer AMD over Intel.
1. I am a certified PC techniction and the very first PC that I built was an AMD Athlon XP system. I have been loyal to AMD since then.
2. Personialy I believe Intel price gouges.
3. AMD offers better performance
4. ATI and AMD have now merged and I allways also preferd ATI over NVIDIA.
5. AMD is NOT Intel, it gives the world dominating corp competition.
6. AMD supports Linux more than Intel.
7. AMD is more efficient at power consumption.
8. AMD just gets more respect.
And I could prolly put down a hundred more reasons!

A huge amount of it was fashion - until Intel released the Conron, it was just fashionable to have an AMD chip. And while Intel didn't have a 64bit chip, anyone who wanted one had to have an AMD. The fact windows only ran at 32bit was immaterial....
Intel pandering to MS also meant that the Linux/OSS zealots decided to like AMD because they're nicer to the OSS community. Though now they own ATi i'm not sure that's still valid.
Also, the AMDs run cooler, and are easier to overclock. They also apparently benchmark higher. Though the new intels are pretty close.

in gaming amd athlon sixty 4 wins enormous time yet when your doing 2 job like ripping mp3 and playing intel wins because that is a twin processor.yet most of the time your interest play will wade through. both processor works nicely in microsoft media center. btw intel isn't a 64bit processor and already some video games like far cry is now on sixty 4 bit (its very quite on sixty 4 bit) and residing house windows vista operating device in on the horizone so i imagine amd is extra destiny information.

The real reason is that they are cheaper and have the reputation of being a "gamer" chip because of overclocking. Just look at any business class PC company. They are not building AMD desktops for corporations. If they are then they are trying to compete with price. There is nothing wrong with AMD for gaming, but to me they die quicker and get slow quicker.

In benchmark testing between the two, the AMD did better in video and audio processing. Overall the Pentium is better though, at least so far. With the dual cores it will be similar and pretty soon there will be quad cores so I don't think it will matter at all.

because amd is easier to overclock and runs at lower temp
but Intel is now beating AMD in the processor market with the new Intel 4 core processor. :( *boos*
this is a massive debate Intel Vs AMD i would also check
