Hi,

I have to prepare a discussion whether to use Intel or AMDs in Professional applications of the PC.

Could you guys help me out with serious pros and cons?

Thanks,

Martin

well, i work at a comp shop, and every comp i build, i need to install win on ... so here it goes
intel, great cpu heat, great compatibility, i prefer their mobos though in general amd got the same shit going.
amd, well a bit hotter, if you dont buy a diff fan, poff ;p thats what i like about intel, they give ya good cpu coolers bundled.
speed
well, nothing much to say, dos/installions/general platfrom output - intel wins but, 3g gaming, i would say, take 100 "mhrz" off intel and you get the same amd, meaning, a 1800+ amd = 1900 intel, which means a lot cause the price diff is pretty big
i need to go and eat heh, ill be back later to write some more bullshit

I've built quite a few Professional Application systems for a number of businesses in my area.

This included both workstations and Servers for web and distributed database systems and I've got to say that I've started using the Athlon MP's for the servers and durons for the workstations about a year ago when the MP first came out and I've never looked back. they're great. They're powerful, cheaper than the Xeons and just have the pure brute force to get the job done.

They get 100% in my book, and this is coming from someone who previously owned a dual P3 System.

AMD...for everything

I'm tired if high prices and poor performance from Intel and I'm my system really isn't that noisey...I can hear my Pentium II 350mhz across the room over my Athlon XP 1800+

Intel has reputation and that's the primary and principal advantage
Compatibility wise Intel rules
Intel pentium CPU was more expensive than Atlon XP until now
AMD is losing business now, can not compete with Intel since Intel reduced the prices for CPU's
D845 PE/GE chipsets are rock solid coupled with DDR 333 almost near to Rambus performance in some applications not all.
Price/performance ratio AMD wins
Novice PC user use AMD
Pro entusiasts use P4
AMD doesn't have a solid chipset for Athlon XP
Nforce 2 is questionable since it's very new

If anybody has any comment please post here
thanks

AMD has a serious heat problem. Their CPUs have to be throtteled to make sure not to overheat them. They run in temperatureranges of about 50-55 degrees Celcius. This throtteling alone causes all kinds of negative side effects.

My Intel CPU runs at a mere temperature of about 30-35 degrees Celsius (40 degrees Celsius when working at a constant 100% CPU usages for over an hour)! Running in lower temperatures means longer lifespan and less stability problems.

if i were making a gaming machine id go with AMD. If i were using the computer for office/work related things involving lots of multitasking then i would go with intel.

AMD works well for games cuz its very good at not multi tasking. not to say its a bad multitasker. AMD's have a higher throughput level then intels. so when its doing one thing it gets it done faster. which is what you want for games, cuz when you run a game generally you don't have a lot of other things running in the background.

Intels have a smaller throughput so it can get lots multitasking done. and pretty much most of the opposite as above.

AMDs are cheaper
intels are significantly less cheaper.

as for people whining about the heat thing..who cares? I still don't understand why people say AMD's have a serious heat problem. whats serious about it? most processors go thru a 300 degree oven before being shipped to test them. so running 50 degrees is a cake walk.
and so it runs llike 10 degrees hotter then your intel. buy a good fan they cost like $20.

in conclusion. if you want a gaming comp for cheap, go with amd.
if you want a boring office computer or expensive gaming one go with intel

As sammie sad. Intel tend to have a better compatability. and also Intel is very good in decoding anything except graphics (which amd wins here).

I personally Prefer intel: where as an overclocked p4 2.4c 800mhz FSB (lets say to 3.0-3.2, without changing any core voltages) can easly outperform a 3000+ from AMD.

And who said that Amd rulez in game rigs?

AMD is better for gaming / windows / program usage,
intels for multimedia applications....
your so backwards.

I vote for amd cuz i like it that they can compete with intel fastest CPU with their < 2.1 Ghz actual speed CPU. They use less energy too because it is only at 2.0 Ghz.

but its only 2Ghz ... AMD is actually better at same speed but AMD can't get intel speed thats why the discussion: "if AMD would run at intel speed ...." BS! AMD simply cannot run at intel speed and so there are both pretty much the same

huh....my ferarri got more power but it´s slower in max speed than my porsche....so what´s better?.....
AMD is better for gaming and INTEL is better for Office...MY OPINION!

I still would choose an Intel processor because they outperform AMD's a quite a few games, on top of having a faster normal processor use in "office" (Winrar and other apps). :P

No Intel processors are getting rather cheap now. Certainly not the price gap there was when Athlon XP first came around :)
