AMD or Intel (Processors)

[Bmjskater]

Which one makes better processors, AMD or Intel (for gaming)

[Prokart2000]

at the moment intel

[Cactu]

Amd is for budget users, Intel by far

[CydiaDash]

AMD makes weaker cores

[ADZ_123_!"£]

Intel make sense for every high end pc and gaming pc, for a budget editing pc an amd pc makes sense.

[Koffehh]

Ouch look at them results.

Voted for AMD. Someone has to

But anyway, why this topic was created? What's the point of it?

[itachipirate]

The votes pretty much summarize what Intel's market share looks like too

What is the point of this topic? I mean, your question is devoid of any context. 

 

Best in what, single-threaded applications? Heating your appartment?

meh its just oppinion

This feels to me like a malformed question. As is the case with many comaprisons like this you can't really say which one is generally "better". Right now I would say that for enthusiasts Intel are really ahead with their stronger IPC and higher real core count (at least on their very expensive CPUs). AMD really aren't offering anything in the expensive enthusiast space (unless you want to go Opteron, which most people wouldn't even consider) and are mostly selling new APUs in the lower end of the market. AMDs APUs are pretty impressive from the time I've spent with them and with talks of new Zen based CPUs I hope for AMD to make a return to the days of the highly competitive Athlon x64.

 

Without sufficient context I wouldn't like to say which is "better", but since you probably mean for gaming I would suggest Intels IPC beats AMDs enough to warrant extra cost (or a cheaper CPU if you want to go that way).

At the moment Intel. I do however want AMD to do well with their Zen CPUs as I want AMD to do well I mean this company is competing against 2 companies at the same time they need a break and have some time in the sun.  

[GlassBomb]

If price is not an issue, then Intel makes the better processors at this current moment.

 

But with that being said, I wish that future generations of AMD hardware will perform at a more competitive level than what they are currently.

For future reference a quick search of the forum would have given you the answer.  These threads tend to degrade into a war of misinformation and wishful thinking.

This thread will only start (yet another) endless mud-slinging match of argumentative trolling and flaming. Thus, this thread is locked. There are plenty of threads like this on the forum already if you want to read the answers.
