Well, since 8 years I stop buying Intel processors mainly for chess as the AMD processors were, in my opinion going to get better (cheaper and faster) than Intel ones. Which became true recently. The Intel ones I used where only at work. Well, I must say that I never had problems with AMD even if the computer where placed in a warm room especially in summer. Considering that all my computers are going all the time I was quite satisfied with them. Recently my company hardware expert told me that he is now buying only AMD processors as more quiet and reliable. This is due to the high frequency of Intel last processors which make them less reliable if one uses them several hours every day. It seems to me that only the latest Centrino processor is worth for Intel, so it is hard for me to understand who is pushing for Intel processors recently. Just my opinion and experience.
