Expensive
Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, and Motorola Corporation.
As far as I know, SiS, ViA and Intel all supply chipsets to the motherboard manufacturers, but they may not be the only ones.
YES ITX is a motherboard. it is in intel, AMD, VIA .
Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, MOS, HP, ARM, IDT, Motorola, IBM, DEC
The main two manufacturers are INTEL and AMD. The 4th quoter results of 2008: INTEL - 80.96% AMD - 10.6%
AMD is the ONLY compeditor of Intel AMD
Intel and AMD
For AMD - AMD Phenom II X4 920 For Intel - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Intel processor is rated slightly faster overall than the AMD processor but the cost of other things (i.e. motherboards) may make the AMD processor the better deal.
Celeron for Intel and Sempron for AMD
Intel tends to make better processors than AMD.
Intel microprocessors are second to none. They are higher quality and more reliable than AMD microprocessors, and they have a better overall reputation in the market. AMD came on the market to offer a low cost alternative to Intel's microprocessor line. There have been many heated debates between both loyal users of Intel and AMD, as to which one is the best microprocessor around. C/NET did an article on a duel-core CPU between Intel and AMD. Their results are that AMD out performed Intel in seven areas tested. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6389077-1.html Wither you choose Intel or AMD it is always important to be informed about the product you are buying.
-AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) -Intel Corp. (Intel Corporation) -SIS (Silicon Integrated Systems) -VIA (VIA Technologies Inc.) -and perhaps CRAY Inc. for the supercomputer industry
