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.
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.
Amd is just awesome then intel.
amd is newer than intel so it must be better.
The main two manufacturers are INTEL and AMD. The 4th quoter results of 2008: INTEL - 80.96% AMD - 10.6%
Intel = buissness and work AMD= gaming and raw power
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.
AMD is the ONLY compeditor of Intel AMD
The best processor between AMD oand Intel based on their features is basically INTEL,as it is more affordable and popular.
Intel Core Duo Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Core 2 Quad Intel Celeron AMD Athlon XP AMD Phenom X2 And two for laptops: Intel Atom AMD Turion X2
there are 3 different CPU's that i know of, intel, celeron and amd
Intel and AMD
Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, and Motorola Corporation.
