People who say they are the same, they do not have a clue about processors. Yes, both brands do the same function, but the question is "which one is better?"
With every generation of processors, the winner changes. Last generation, it was AMD because they could produce the same speed for a cheaper price. This generation, Intel wins by producing the fastest dual processor and beat AMD to the 65nm technology and quad processor.
When you are looking at prices, AMD has always been cheaper. The problem with AMD is that they are still at 90nm technology, which means high wattage consumption. High wattage means more power consumption and hotter processor. AMD's CPU architecture is still inferior to Intel.
Intel still produces the best and fastest processor. They are a little more expensive than AMD, but are worth it. Their Core Duo 2 are excellent buys.
You can no longer at price, speed frequency or model number to determine which one is the best. You need to look at benchmarks and reviews. All tests say Intel is the best.
If you are building a budget system, then I guess you will need to stick to AMD.

AMD processors are made by AMD.
Intel processors are made by Intel.
Just different architecture and some difference in performance. You can go on the Intel an AMD website for more details.

I will add only 1 comment. ASK the Intel supporters " Which is the only chip DESIGNED FOR 64 BIT ?" , Answer is AMD.
Pros and Cons both ways. I use Only AMD. I build ( White Box ) computers, that is to say, they are not trade named like Dell, Sony or HP.
It is purely your choice. You are Buying it.

AMD processor saves you a lot of power life, while Intel is specifically made for boosting Power... AMD is cheaper, while Intel is more expensive and are best for gamers...

This is a chart to end the argument:

In games as the charts PROVE not much difference, in applications, the Intel core2 cpu is faster. For gaming, it will be the video card that will be the most important.

And staying away from vista:

Just look up reviews, they will always help you out.

The first person who answers your question is correct... But let me drop my 2 cent too...
Intel is a Faster processor, it is more convenient, excluded currenct usage, and is best known as gaming processor.
The Intel family is todays leading processor.

intel are the real thing and AMD do a hyper version
imagine that the intel one is working normally and the AMD is on drugs,
speeds the same but which one will last longer?
