which processor is the best?

Question

these are the options :)

intel core 2 duo
amd athlon 64X2

i dont care about the price :)
i just need to know which works faster and better :)

Answer 1

Well that sentence "don't care aobut the price" makes this question very very simple, and anyone who answers otherwise is flat out wrong. For dual core, the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 is the fastest chip out there, no questions about it. Look at the provided benchmarks, and it is easy to see this chip is the winner. There are cases in which quad cores can outperform it if a multithreaded task is being used, but you only asked about dual cores.

Answer 2

the intel core 2 duo is currently the more powerful processor of the 2.

Answer 3

intel core 2 duo all the way! intel processors run more efficiently. they also don't give off as much heat as amd.

Answer 4

If you want a the best for your money I would always count on AMD and its predecessors because if these chips are made for gamers , you can over clock them to a higher rate speed than any other normal chip without burning them up. so a 3000 can give you an extra 250 making it 3250MHz computer.

Answer 5

The AMD Athlon is the better chip

Answer 6

i just built my first computer and i got a duo e6850 on it and to me it works much faster than my friend that own a athlon just self experience as far as the technical stuff im not sure...

Answer 7

Look around at pre-made systems... the systems with Intel are always more expensive than the systems with AMD. Then remember that old phrase, "you get what you pay for".

Answer 8

I am gonna go with "Pyria" the AMD is way better than the Intel. The Intel is over rated and over priced.

Answer 9

intel

Answer 10

They both are pretty good - but I prefer AMD these days.
