I personally prefer AMD. I think that in quality they are better. As some famous guy once said "It's quality not quantity."

You know I find it rather interesting how the processing markets of AMD and Intel are supporting P2P. If you remember Intel's contribution to P2P a couple months back by providing the code that ultimately assisted in developing that Azureus plugin "Ono".

Intel also had a tracking modual in there chips, anyone remember the Coppermine it was called the processor ID function. by the way is still found in all the intel series. they had claimed it was for sells status and talling sales, but why would you need a perment id in your processor. its like a MAC for you processor.
in any case goodwork amd supporting the scene will defenitly help find you a consumer base.
for gaming i like AMD. but if i was going to run a hardcore server i Would go with Intel's Itanium series.
Intel is more geared toward the Suits.
AMD More geared Toward Public.

It remains to be seen whether the antipiracy lobbyists target AMD because of this. isoHunt has been a target of several accusations by both MPAA and RIAA.
I love this :)

secret squirrel's report on the issue
Quote:
I'd like to thank the nice people at AMD for allowing us to have 2 pre-production engineering samples of their Opteron 2352 CPUs. These cpus have been installed in our primary database server (as of this afternoon) and we'll definitely be following up in the near future with our impressions of these particular cpus. (Although I'll admit that we ran all of our web traffic for about 20 minutes earlier today on those cpus without any issue, so they're certainly powerhouses).
