Maybe Intel is faster, maybe not (it really depends on what you're doing, and who is faster by 1% isn't the issue). Consider the comparison between an Intel chip at 2.167 GHz to an AMD chip at 2.167 GHz, and there you will find the problem. The AMD cpu at 2.167 GHz would kill an Intel cpu at 2.167 GHz. Intel jacks up their numbers to get people to buy their product, which makes them seem rather snake like. They make these claims about 25GHz processors and 10GHz processors, and then people like you go nuts and get all excited about Intel. They achieved their goal via manipulation and lies, and I would think twice about buying from a company that operates in such a manner. Make sense now? Please don't respond with another "Intel is faster" post, because that isn't the issue, and it is pointless to discuss unless you want to talk about a particular domain, such as computer chess. Maybe Intel is faster for sound mixing software, but I don't think the majority of people on this forum care much about that.
