What is the difference between Intel and AMD?

Obviously different companies, but besides that AMD processors mu go in motherboard that use an AMD socket and Intel processors must go into an Intel based socket. Intel processors seem to be a bit more expensive but Intel is on top with the newest technology. Many AMD "fans" would argue this.


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 some of the different processors used in todays?

Contemporary computers mostly use either Intel or AMD processors. The Pentium brand of Intel processors is the most popular in the world.


Why do all the laptops have Intel inside sticker on?

Most computers that use Intel processors have an Intel sticker on them to advertise this fact. And Intel processors are generally faster, cooler, and more power-efficient than mobile AMD processors.


Are AMD processors a better value than Intel processors?

Not really a better value but more efficient for use,it has better speeds.


Is Intel better than an amd processor?

It depends, but usually Intel is better. Older AMD processors (compared against the early Pentium 4) were much faster, however.


What is a better processor AMD or Intel?

It all depends on the specific CPU you are talking about. There are hundreds of processors made by both of these companies. There is no good answer to this.AnswerIn my experience, Intel is WAY better than AMD. My roomates have AMD's and their not impressed. Anybody that speaks of their Intel is typically happy. Intel dose not use a much power as AMD. So Intel for laptops and AMD for desktops. All in all they are both good


Can you upgrade turion 64 to Intel based CPU?

Not unless you replace the entire motherboard. Intel and AMD processors use different sockets and different chipsets.

What is different between amd and Intel?

There are plenty of giants in the world of technology, like Microsoft, Apple and Google. Two of the biggest forces in technology manufacturing are Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, commonly called AMD. Both specialize in microprocessors. Based on the type of microprocessor in your PC, your computer is either an Intel or an AMD system. Amd and Intel have very different clock frequencies. Amd processors are mostly known for their price per performance meaning what you pay is what you get while Intel is more expensive and has much higher performance then you might need, depending on what you want to do. Mostly Intel is the top brand in performance and market but Amd had its moments a few years back. The companies Intel and AMD are huge forces in the world of technology, and both began around the same time: Intel in 1968, and AMD in 1969. Today, they're without peer as the two biggest manufacturers of commercial processors. They make both CPUs and GPUs, and both produce good processors for consumers. Your computer almost certainly has processors from Intel, AMD or both.


Do both windows and Macintosh computers use Intel microprocessors?

All new Macs use an Intel processor and many computers running the Windows operating system also use an Intel processor although some use alternative processors such as those from AMD.
