Intel tends to be more expensive than the competition, but it also tends to lead the competition in terms of advancement as well.
The difference is that Core Duo processors have to "engines" instead of one. With other words, Core Duo means 2 Intel processors in the same time working!
Existence. There is no such thing as an "Intel Other" processor.
Apple uses a range of processors depending upon their needs these include Intel Core 2 Duo, quad-core Intel Core i5, quad-core Intel Core i7, Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3500,, Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 "Nehalem" processors.
Intel is the world's largest semiconductor company. Intel is famous for their processors for e.g. notebooks, desktops and servers.
Intel Corporations manufactures their own products. They outsource to other countries, but the factories are owned by Intel. There is very little information on the manufacturing process of Intel.
The differences between these and other Intel board chips are explained here http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=409 Kronos52
It depends on what kind of motherboard you're talking about. Generally speaking there are AMD based motherboards which will be used with AMD processors, and there are Intel motherboards that are to be used with Intel processors. For example, Asus is a motherboard manufacturer which offers both AMD as well as Intel motherboards. All other motherboard manufacturers usually offer both Intel & AMD.
Intel CPU processors have a very stable price, they don't differ a lot from the CPU processors of AMD but AMD has more discount offers on it's CPU processors which in some occassions give them a better cost to performance ratio. In other words, buying an AMD processor with a good discount might just beat the Intel CPU processor cost to performance ratio.
Clock speed is only a useful comparison of speed when two processors share the same architecture. AMD and Intel processors have different internal architectures. At various points in time, one manufacturer had a more efficient architecture than the other, thus providing better performance at a lower clock speed. As of Q2 of 2009, Intel currently offers more efficient processors.
Currently the answer is no, but historically Intel has been the leader in advancing processor technology. For quite some time there was no comptetition for chips with more than two cores, though recently AMD has released processors with three and four cores each, and thus catching up.
Intel desktop computers aren't any more expensive than computers with rival processors, such as AMD.
Well, Intel is the better brand, but AMD is a fairly good. If your looking for a gaming laptop and have some money to spend, Look into the Intel Core i3,i5, and i7, these are the fastest Intel processors. On the other hand, the AMD Phenom 2 quad Black edition is the fastest AMD processor and is around as fast as an Intel Core 2 Duo. Hope this helps.
