Both processors are very reliable but the main difference is with performance. I currently have 2 computers with Intel Pentium and 2 with AMD. The Intel Pentium are more geared to the buisness side of the computer world and the AMD are much better for gaming applications, even though they do a fine job on the buisness side as well. It really comes down to one's preference and the type of applications the computer will be running.

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


Does amd offer true Pentium compatibility?

AMD processors do not offer true Pentium compatibility, as they are based on different architectures and designs. While some AMD CPUs can run software intended for Intel's Pentium processors due to the x86 architecture compatibility, there may be variations in performance and specific feature sets. Additionally, certain software optimizations that are tailored for Intel processors may not be fully supported on AMD chips. Overall, while there is a degree of compatibility, it is not absolute.
