When you find an AMD chip "equivalent" to an intel chip, they never perform even close to their Intel equivalent. I have no idea for the exact reason but no matter how you compare the two chips the Intel always comes out on top, in terms of real-world performance.
AMD chips also:
-run much hotter than Intel chips
-use more power than Intel chips
-have a much shorter lifespan than Intel chips
-dont cost that much less than Intel chips
So yeah, AMD is not worth the little bit of savings you get from them. Intel is worth it.
Now, I believe in NVIDIA over AMD as well, when it comes to graphic cards, for all the same reason, as well as
-they're physically larger
-they're often incompatible with software (I've only used AMD-ATI GPUs at work, most software there does not play nice)

Talk To Me Quote Archive I've got no place to go, I've got nowhere to run.
They love to watch me fall, they think they know it all.
I'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said.
I'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own.
I've gotta prove them wrong - It's me against the world. It is, in the end, whatever the **** I want it to be.
And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole this wide
straight through the worlds own idea of itself.
...
Come on, lets go break their arms. |
