I think I still have an ancient Celeron 900 system somewhere on the premises but haven't used it in ages. Other than the netbook, it's AMD all the way for me. I'm not knocking Intel, I just think AMD provides the best bang for the buck.

The differences seem quite overhyped for the most part. I've got an Intel core2 machine at work, and a phenom I machine at home, and a single core of the core2 is maybe 5-10% faster clock-for-clock than the phenom I, for pure cpu-crunching (much of that may be due to the cache size; this core2 has an _enormous_ L2 cache). The core2 _also_ has a faster clock, so overall it's pretty fast cpu (the phenom I has double the number of cores though, so which is better depends on the situation). However -- for typical usage (running web browsers, editors, etc), the phenom _system_ feels far speedier and more responsive. I think this is mainly because it seems far faster at I/O (I'm not entirely sure why; the hard disks are from the same manufacturer, and of the same generation, but the difference is quite amazing). The core2 system, despite the speedy little cpu, often feels like a bit of a dog, really. Small differences in cpu speed/efficiency matters to some people, but in most cases, it's just one factor among many to consider when buying a system. -Miles -- Generous, adj.

You may well be right -- I guess I'm not a power user. I build systems just as a hobby, haven't built one on anything but AMD since that old Celeron 900 mentioned earlier, and I'm completely happy with 'em. I haven't had any slowness or delays on anything that weren't caused by the Internet or servers on the other end. I haven't even felt a need to go to Phenoms -- Athlon X2s easily handle the most demanding things I ever do on computers. |
