Posted April 23, 2014 Under what situations would you choose one over the other? Why do you prefer one brand over the other? This is not intended to start a war, just to express why you like AMD or Intel.

Posted April 23, 2014 AMD for a gaming PC under $800. Intel for everything above that. "If you do not take your failures seriously you will continue to fail" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 23, 2014 Brand doesn't matter to me, I choose based on what gives better performance. I've had several different CPUs from both Intel and AMD, starting with 486DX2 66MHz from Intel and 486DX4 120MHz from AMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 23, 2014 Intel because it runs cooler, has great support and better quality.Only time I will choose an AMD will be when going for igp performance for shoestring budget gaming PC.

Posted April 23, 2014 I prefer Intel because they perform better in single threaded tasks. While AMD has their strong points, it's not for me because I'm not a heavy multitasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 23, 2014 AMD is for budget gaming builds or computers for people who just want to browse internet/watch videos. Intel has the enthusiasts/higher end gaming builds.... Two completely different categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 23, 2014 I love my Intel and will always go with them, but AMD offers an amazing value for people who want to build a budget PC. They are both very good brands, and they each have their better work scenarios.

Posted April 23, 2014 I wanted Intel, but couldn't afford their CPUs on my budget, so I bought AMD. Pretty sure that's the general consensus... "A picture is starting to form here...

Posted April 23, 2014 If you want to find the right CPU for your build don't make this polls, both teams have great products, we don't want fanboy wars. Athlon X4 750k/760k FX 6300 FX 8320 offer great performance around the $100 mark, while Intel's i5 is unbeatable in therms of single threaded performance (gaming), and the i7 is a multi-threaded beast up to the pair of the workstation CPUs, perfect for editing and working.

Posted April 23, 2014 if you include [Poll] in the title, you should actually include one. and i would go intel every day. I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

Posted April 23, 2014 Depends on pricing and availability of parts as well as what the system is being used for and what the person using it wants. Aside from that, I consider the form factor, motherboard features/options, power consumption, noise, and performance. If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

Posted April 23, 2014 This is way too broad of a question. There are so many variables that come into play for each individual user. I personally prefer Intel, because benchmarks show that for gaming, Intel is the superior performer.

Posted April 23, 2014 its what ever you fell like using. I first and second computers were AMD and loved them but i felt like jumping on the Intel band wagon and I might actually stay with Intel.
