The choice between an Intel or AMD CPU depends on the type of computer and the intended purpose. Intel CPUs are for instance believed to perform better than AMDs in graphics-intensive applications.
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.

No. Intel and AMD use very similar instruction sets, that a separate version for each is not necessary.
Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, and Motorola Corporation.
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
Celeron for Intel and Sempron for AMD
Many heatsink and fan kits are compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Check the specifications carefully, though.
Intel tends to make better processors than AMD.
