Advantages: friendly and trusted
Disadvantages: i don't think any

...first time I like the AMD processor. My first pc's cpu is AMD...I found that it is a good processor and very friendly. It's easy to use and it is a good brand and it is a trusted brand ever because many of my friends are using this for their processors. Until now I'm using this kind of processor because most of the time I played games to my computer and AMD is the best processor in conducting games! It is so fast and can manipulate good games. I'm ... Read review

Advantages: awesome performance in multi-tasking, cost effective, flexibility in overclocking
Disadvantages: The latest Intel Quad core processors are still the fastest

...some people have always preferred AMD over Intel processors is that AMD processors have always been cost-effective. As pointed out by a Ciao member Mohit "You pay only for the technology you want to use". Think about an Intel processor. When you buy a fast Intel processor then other than the basic processor package, you are also paying for the loads of inbuilt Intel technologies that comes along with it. Now the big question is how much of those ...
...thats the advantage of AMD over Intel. Anyway lets not talk about an Intel, AMD comparison. Lets talk about the latest AMD Black Edition AMD Phenom X4 9850 2.5 Ghz processor quad-Core. 'A high-end super performer, yet cost-effective' will be the perfect way to summarize the whole story. Characterized by sheer raw processing power, it may perform beyond your expectations in multi-tasking and once you use it, you will definitely feel the High performance ... Read review

Advantages: Integrated Memory Controller
Disadvantages: TDP, Price, Relative Performance

AMD has been on the decline after Intel introduced its core 2 Duo line of processors. It has been late on 65 nm process and they are paying for that. They had the market under total control just two year ago, but now they have lost even their loyal customers. AMD has to produce something very powerful and should be done quickly or they will even lose the small share that they has got. Coming to the processor, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is a midrange processor ...
...but not enough to beat Intel's counter parts. I got this processor in the PC which my uncle gifted to me. So, I have got it free. If I were given a choice before it was gifted to me, I certainly would have asked for an Intel processor in the same price range. Looking at the processor, we note that it's speed is 3 GHz. It has a decent amount of L2 cache (i.e 2MB). It fits in AMD's AM2 Socket. It is based on 90 nm manufacturing process. It is rated ... Read review

Advantages: perfoms well at good speeds
Disadvantages: cannot multi-task

Well,I have been using Intel Pentium 4 2.93 Ghz. I'll say its an intermediate product.I need to use my computer a lot.And whenever I use it,I'm always multi -asking.So its like an absolute necessary that the processor is able to handle the load,and at the same time perform efficiently at a good speed. But it hasn't really met up to the expectations.Whenever I am at my desktop,I normally have 2-3 MS-Office components open simaltaneously, with 3-4 ...
...my Windows Media Player. So you can very well understand the amount of multi-tasking it has to do.Also sometimes I a downloading huge volumes of file. The difficulty I face is that the speed slows down.When I am minimizing a window,it gets minimized 2-3 minutes after the event is performed. Any file I am saving ,takes long time to get saved.the music stops at regular intervals almost like it is taking pit stops in a race. I would say the only ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Functions
Disadvantages: No Such, But Multimedia functions needs improvement.

...Intel processor.When I changed to AMD Phenom X3 8450 it was superb.Data processing is at par with Intel.it's triple core function is truly justified with it's performance.I am fully satisfied with it's functions.From budgetary point of view it is also lighter to pocket.I have two desktop PCs and I am still comparing the functions of both including online and off line capabilities.The graphics and multimedia capabilities according me is little bit ...
