AMD or INTELcpu?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to choose between an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Windsor 2.2GHz cpu, and Intel Pentium D 925 Presler 3.0GHz cpu.

Which one will out perform the other?

Thanks for that list. I've decided to go with the amd processor.

Answer 1

I totally agree with Djorn and FULLY DISAGREE WITH ANSWERER NUMBER 1. It seems the latter is out dated since year 2004, as it was the "last" time Intel was best than AMD. Nowadays, AMD is best. For the range or "family" you are going to buy, AMD is best. Since the advent of the Athlon64, AMD is best, especially concerning gaming. Besides, AMD uses less electricity and heats less. So, go for the AMD.

P.S: am a CCAI
