amd turion 64x2 or intel duo core 2?

Question

i am buying a notebook
pls suggest one of these

1) amd turion 64x2 1.6 ghz 533 / 667 MHz FSB
2) intel core 2 duo 1.6 GHz 667 MHz FSB

and also mention which processor is better for what field like gaming, startup shutdown, etc

Answer 1

go with intel because they are more known for their products. They both perform the same way. Intel Duo 2 is more faster about 20 - 30 % because amd turion 64 x2 is like a intel duo processor.

Answer 2

I'm not for certain, but my Intel Core 2 Duo on my Dell Inspiron 640m doesn't perform as well as I thought it would. Ripping a CD while playing an old game from 1999 makes the graphics very slow and choppy, hey, I thought this was supposed to do TWICE the work, not go very slow. Also, I can't listen to music while ripping or burning a CD or DVD, because my audio goes very choppy and ugly sounding as well. Maybe it's how my Dell was configured, maybe Dell isn't a very good brand, but in any case, I'd recommend an AMD Turion 64X2. It's probably better than Intel. I've read many reviews, and most point to AMD. Good luck, and I hope your selection is a good one. I'm thinking maybe a Compaq Presario or HP...

Answer 3

It largely depends upon on the use you will give it. Should I have the choice, I would select the INTEL CORE DUO, because it's better for gaming.

But if you are going to use it mainly for business or office job, I wouldn't doubt it at all: AMD is the best selection I've ever made.

P.S: By the way, I own both systems! ;)

Answer 4

intel...better clock for clock

amd...uses less power

they both perform very close on most tasks...
