Socket A is also known as Socket 462. This CPU socket is used for AMD processors, manufactured by Athlon Thunderbird.
No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.
AMDs 'dual core' CPUs, those that contain 2 CPU cores, as opposed to the 1 CPU core found in earlier AMD (and intel, VIA, cyrix etc) CPUs. Dual core CPUs have much better multitasking performance than traditional single core CPUs.
Intel = buissness and work AMD= gaming and raw power
Front Side Bus (for older Intel CPUs). Hypertransport (for AMD) and CSI (for newer Intel CPUs)
No. If you want to run dual processors, they need to both be the same speed, and either "MP" (multiprocessor) versions, or hacked 'normal' CPUs (there is a way of making normal CPUs report they are MP CPUs)
Gateway generally purchases their CPUs from either AMD or Intel.
You can use an amd sempron or an amd athlon II with an am3 socket, but when am3 was released it was meant to be used with the amd phenom line of CPUs. You can use all three: amd sempron, amd athlon II & amd phenom.
No, I even think that Apple are not producing PC with an AMD CPU, they are using Intel CPUs. AMD Athlon CPU is typically found in IBM PC.
Intel is the most recognized and respected brand of CPUs; however AMD is quickly climbing the ranks and giving Intel a run for their money.
K-6 (or K6) refers to family of processors manufactured by AMD around the years 1998-2000. Full details of the CPUs can be found on <a href="http://www.amd.com/gb-uk/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_1260_1300%5E1102,00.html">AMD's website</a>.
Depends on the person you ask and what your price to performance ratio is. Amd is the cheaper of the two compared to intel. Amd has good cpus for less than comparable Intel cpus. If money is not to much of a problem then Intel will be your best bet.
