I'd say AMD at the moment, they have cheaper and faster processors, Intel really blew it with their presscot proccessors, but they still have most of the market share though...

Cheaper doesn't mean better . In most cases. that is. I'd say Intel... Why? Well, overall higher quality and far less overheating. P4 HT are especially good, but can't say anything about EE (Extreme edition), haven't had the chance to try them.

Actually all presscot based proccesors tend to overheat
And the days of AMD being unstable and overheating, are far away now, though people still have that prejudice :whistle:...
AMD just jumped over Intel with 64-bit proccessors...

right, AMD just overtook Intel in WorldBench 5 test scores.

The difference between the 2 types though is their intended use. AMD kicks when its processing game data or anything graphical oriented, especially with 3DNow! technology.

Intel has its downside with games but where it lacks in that area in jumps above and beyond in raw computing power as well as multitasking.

If one is to correctly choose which type of processor to purchase, all one needs to do is think about the computer's intended use.

Well, I have AMD, it's cheaper, but the fact is +100euros for Intel's speed is way much better. Anyway, if AMD is better for gaming I vote for AMD.
