I have read many articles comparing the latest CPU's from AMD and Intel. My question is, since AMD is considered to be the best option for video, audio and gaming and INTEL for other specific applications; would the defference between the 2 be that drastic that one should have a rig of each CPU in order to accomplish task from each side of the applications or would the, lets say, AMD be good enough to deal with the programs that INTEL does better to have as your main and only CPU?

Well to me i run 2 desktop intel PC's and one latptop centrino, and the computer i use to write now is an AMD Sph*** however that is spelt :) umm i find that they are roughly the same but i find amd is a faster processor and it doesnt take that long to load and doo all the stuff intel does slower than amd.
I hope that helps...
Here is a link to the actual forum that is discussin this intensivley and that would b the best place to post this question :)

eveilholy,usingaspaceeverynowandthenhelps.
either one has its benifits, intel copes with movie production and multitasking better, amd is cheaper and cooler and quicker at games. Therfore for the price youd pay for an intel rig, you could buy a faster amd rig....its all up to the individual

These days the real world difference is minimal. One might finish encoding a video 2 minutes faster than the other, but get 5 frames per second less in a game. In other words, a barely noticeable difference between equally matched processors.
It gets down to issues like cost, heat, and installation. Intel heatsinks are much easier to install that AMD chips. A friend that works in a local shop has told me of the AMD "Crunch of Death" where the CPU core is cracked from the pressure required to install the heatsink. On the Intel, you just place the heatsink on the chip and flip a couple levers. AMD will win in cost, and these days generally run cooler than Intel chips. On the original Athlons and Thunderbirds, the reverse was true and AMD ran much hotter but now they run cooler. Again, a barely noticeable difference though, a matter of a few degrees between manufacturers.

Well I am a Intel guy and always have been but I have to admit that AMD has the advantage now. I say that because many boards that support AMD 939 also will support a dual processor. So that means you more than likely you will not have to purchase a new board. Plus the AMD dual Processor is out performing the Intel Dual Processor. Damn!

This is interesting. I always read that AMD was better with media then Intel. Many of you say that Intel is better. As far as I know AMD has outperformed Intel in almost any type of media test I have read. I even read of a CGI studio who dropped Apple, who I remember was what everyone told me I should use for editing music, movies and pictures, for the Opteron if I'm not wrong.
It seems that besides being good at media, which is what I like most about PCs, AMD has good enough reasons for me to stick with it from now on. Cooler, quieter, 939 compatible with dual core, dual core better than Intel, cheaper and still with room for improvement since it's only around 2.8 gigs still.
Thanks for your opinions on this matter. I plan on building what I consider the ultimate home PC which will cost me a pretty penny but its what I want. I hope to share my specs with you someday soon when I build it.

This is the list of what I so far am planning on building once i can buy the parts which if it all works out should be able to do before then end year.

MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
2 mushkin SP3200 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered
2 Western Digital Raptor 74GB 3.5" Serial ATA150 Hard Drive in raid
Western Digital Caviar SE 320GB 3.5" Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon X600Pro 100-714131 All-In-Wonder Radeon X600Pro 256MB 128-bit DDR VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card

I believe you should go with AMD for games. Judging by what I have read.

AMD all the way. BUT if you are serious about gaming you need to get decent memory & a decent graphics card. For MY money you should get the BEST graphics card you can possibly afford.
Most of the games now are designed for AMD chips. But again you need a decent card.
Even if you have to sell your Grandmother!
Buy cheap & you WILL regret it.

PS, people will argue the toss as to which is the best chip. I really don't care what other people say about Pentiums or AMDs, you could quote me figures, but it would make no odds, I prefer AMDs, all my friends are gamers, as am I - we ALL have AMDs. The choice is yours.

A lot of people prefer Nvidia chipset cards opposed to ATi chipsets. As far as I am concerned Nvidia make far superior drivers compared to ATi. Hence I would go for a 7800 SLi card. The 24 pixel pipeline version would suffice. You have the option to double up in the future.
To be honest although the chip you want is awesome, the difference is in the cards. I have a 3200 barton after having a 2600XP. The difference in performance is minimal!
Spend the money on the card(s), not the chip!

Save some money by not getting the FX and getting a 4200 x2 or 4400 x2. You'll be glad you did when multithreaded games like Unreal 2007, and other UE3 games come out. Plus you can save say $300 or so and get a better video card- Go with a 7800gt, gtx, or ultra (drool)
Also, make sure you get 2x1gb sticks instead of 4x512mb sticks, I couldn't tell what you have planned the way you worded it
Also, if you want to OC, get a DFI LP UT ultra-d/sli-d. You'll probably end up getting a board with Nvidia's new chipset coming out in a couple weeks anyway though, just make sure it's DFI if you want to OC.

OK, now I am curious, what does the acronym "DFI LP UT" mean?

@ Pulsar
DFI = mobo makers
LP = lan party
UT = series of board

ok guys whoever was gonna use the clawhammer core on the AMD FX55 DONT the VEnice Core is much better donbt know why ive had both and venice is so much smoother...btw guys u have to realize that most young gamers dont have the money to buy a $500 graphics card IE the 7800 of any kind. so im going with the 6800 or the 6600gt and plus everyone wait on new comps because prices are going to drop in like 4moths when new dual cores are much much better thne the dual cores we have now if u really wanna buy now u can but wait and all hte cpus on the market will go down alot with in 4 - 5 months amd is coming out with better dual cores.. differnt cores and intel well... intel u never know what the do i mean when amd came out with the 64 the sorta did but not as prominent they went dual core first which is good and now they even have combined the dual core with 64 bit processing... intel is good but their benchmarks are meaning their high end processors are much more expensive than amd's equavilent and wow i jsut realized that pretty much everyone on this fourm is an amd fan woot go amd

Gamer can you please clean up your grammar? I can't follow mostly what you are saying with so much gibberish spitting everywhere.
