What AMD microprocessors are equivalent to various Intel microprocessors?

The easiest way to put it is that intel processors run at a constant speed like 2.3ghz and they cannot be overclocked etc. AMD processors process information in bursts so their speed fluctuates and they can be overclocked or told to go faster than what they were made to go.

Who are the competitive makers of Microprocessors?
AMD and Intel
What companies produce most of todays popular microprocessors?
That would be Intel and AMD. If your a biz person, usally Intel is the way to go. Big in gaming, AMD all the way.
What are opinions on Intel producing a better microprocessor 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.
What is the difference between Intel microprocessors and Advance Micro device processors?
Intel processors and AMD processors use a different architecture and AMD tends to be a little bit behind. Intel is working on 14nm and is currently at 22nm, while AMD just now advanced to 28nm.
What are the 2 most popular CPU manufacturers in the world?
The main two manufacturers are INTEL and AMD. The 4th quoter results of 2008: INTEL - 80.96% AMD - 10.6%
What is Amd sempron 140 processor equivalent to Intel?
celeron
Which company is manufacturer of microprocessors?
Intel and AMD are the primary manufacturers of microprocessors for desktop PCs, laptops and netbooks. ARM are well known for their microprocessors used in smaller computing devices like mobile phones, smartphones and some tablet PCs.
Who are Intel's competitors?
AMD is the ONLY compeditor of Intel AMD
How good is a AMD Athlon microprocessor?
AMD Athlon microprocessors are the awesome. They're 6 core meaning that it's processing power is equivalent to 6 amd separate processors.
What is the equivalent Intel processor to the amd sempron 3100 processor?
I believe I read somewhere that the Intel Celeron line was the equivalent to the sempron line
What is the history of AMD microprocessor?
AMD was a major supplier of various integrated circuits: logic, DRAM, the 2900 family bitslice bipolar microprocessor chipset, etc. However they lacked a single chip MOS microprocessor like those made by Intel, Motorola, Zilog, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, etc. When Intel encountered a problem meeting demand for their 80386 single chip MOS microprocessor they sought out another chip manufacturer with available fabrication facilities. At the time AMD had surplus fabrication facilities and Intel and AMD quickly reach an agreement where Intel would provide AMD with the masks and other manufacturing details for the 80386 and AMD would licence some of their patents to Intel. The two companies would then share the market and sales of the 80386. When Intel designed their 80486 single chip MOS microprocessor, they had already expanded their fabrication facilities enough that they would not need help from AMD to make enough 80486 microprocessors to meet demand. However AMD expected that the original 80386 agreement demanded Intel provide masks and other manufacturing details for successive Intel designed microprocessors (beginning with the 80486). Intel refused and the case went to court. Meanwhile AMD began designing an 80486 microprocessor clone on their own. Intel claimed in the court case that AMD could not do that as 80486 was a trademark, but the court pointed out that trademark law does not permit trademarking of numbers. This allowed both Intel and AMD to manufacture, market, and sell their own independently designed versions of the 80486 microprocessor. When Intel designed their 80586 single chip MOS microprocessor, because of the court decision that numbers could not be trademarked Intel chose to use a word which could be trademarked instead of 80586 and (somewhat unimaginatively) made up the word Pentium for the 80586. Of course AMD designed their own 80586 clone independently (as they had done with the 80486) and made up their own word as a trademark for it. Ever since then when Intel has enhanced the x86/Pentium architecture, AMD has independently designed a clone supporting the new architectural features. However AMD has their own implementation ideas to improve and optimize performance, so sometimes the Intel microprocessors have had better performance and other times the AMD microprocessors have had the better performance.
What are 2 main CPU manufacturers?
Intel and AMD
