so in your professional opinions who is better AMD or INTEL? which company is more innovative and why?
i am particular to AMD cause they are starting our societies much need conversion to 64 bit interfacing. apple has been there for years but now we are reaching the point to where we can't go much faster with our current 32 bit based processing capabilities. tell me what you guys think. |

Reps: 1,025 (power: 10) | | | From personal experience, I'll stick with Intel. I have had far less problems with them than with AMD. Just because AMD is pushing ahead to 64 bit doesn't mean that Intel won't be right behind.

HEAT: You are ignorant. Get up to date with the current facts.
XP+: People who base everything off clock speed are totally clueless and deserve to get ripped off by Intel. Enjoy parting with your money.
Oh, as for stability. Hey, when was the last time you heard of a major intel bug? Remember when AMD had one? Wait. what? You don't? Hmm...

No, they will be on the bottom. "Itanic" is a pipe dream for failed VLIW dreamers... |

Just because AMD is pushing ahead to 64 bit doesn't mean that Intel won't be right behind.  Intel is far ahead of AMD in the 64 bit market. They've had Itanium out and running for a long time with a 64 bit Windows. The difference with AMD is the "32 bit processor with 64 bit instructions".
I'm with you on the problems. I've sold quite a few of both, and used both in my own machines, and I think I'll stick with Intel too. On the other hand, a friend of mine says that all he's ever sold is AMD with hardly a problem to speak of. Maybe it's just my luck. lol.
