AMD Beats Intel For Retail PCs

Quote:

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. may have found a segment of the microprocessor market where it can outperform industry giant Intel Corp. For the second consecutive month, AMD has beaten Intel in providing processors to the retail PC desktop market, and in October exceeded Intel in overall PC sales when notebook sales are included.

They are both geared in different directions.
if you ask me, their both awesome.

For a price to perfomance perspective, id take AMD anyday.
If I was doing multimedia applications, Id use a Intel.

Everything else, Id use an AMD for.
