Intel vs. AMD

YouTube - Intel Vs AMD processor

This may be one reason CP prefers Intel, it got me thinking

if that's the one i think it is (didn't see it cuz smallband) if thye cpu explodes it's fake , it's just a little bom underneath it, it can explode if it was overclocked and really stressed but that would also happen to an intel! even cp will say that.

btw have u heard bout the intel laptop's that spontaniously caught fire? 3 times :D

when i have the link i will post it!

I saw that dell had a recall cuz laptops could catch fire but it had nothing to do with the processor they were just recallin the batteries

That video shows what happens when you have a processor without the cooling fan and what happens to the gameplay

^^ i know that video

but still a cpu will not explode that fast, it has to build heat first., btw if i remember correct there wasn't a video card on it so how does the screen work?
or was there a video card?

here's the link ( it's dutch but look at the pictures)

The CPU doesn't explode in that video, the AMD CPU just got fried... if any CPU is overclocked there is a chance the CPU will be fried, I wouldn't say it would explode unless it got to an immense heat....

the videos looked like they were speeded up, in any of the clips the CPU didn't explode, it just fried even at over 300 °C,

i didn't study it close enough to see if there is a video card

Intel isn't mentioned on that page ;)

Dell signed a deal with AMD a few months ago, take a read at this: CNN.com - Dell to start using AMD chips - May 19, 2006

They will still be using Intel aswell...

ofcourse they did , amd is just better ;)

lol,

I didn't really read your last post properly, yeh it was the batteries that exploded nothing to do with the processors

i don't have anything against , i had one before i got this computer although it was a pentium 2 :D

lol,

I don't have anything agaisnt amd either, just that I preffer Intel ;)

on my previous pc i had a duron 600 overclocked to 800, i had a golden orb fan which costed like $50 [2nd best out there at the time] and it still fried the motherboard in under 2 years. the motherboard was cheap but was supposed to be able to handle a faster processor anyway. the fan was damn loud. i could close my door and still hear it going outside the room. i'm never buying one of those again. i never tested the processor to see if it's broke though, it's got some black on it from the smoke, but that's about it..

anyways, i still like amd over intel though, cause intel advertises too much. a good product doesn't need as much advertising as they got, so they must be compensating for something...

Intel do, do a lot of advertising, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that, they are in a market that generates a lot of revenue so they are capitalizing on that, by advertising.

I've not seen any AMD adverts on TV, so AMD is losing out as they are not advertising to the general public, people who don't read PC magazines, tech news e.t.c...

therefore Intel are getting more customers by using advertising that the general public see
