I will never understand this debate. Both are decent, both run fine. In the real world I would put up my FX 6100 Against any Intel cpu, and in the real world under normal use, you wont notice a difference.
Cost should be the only factor, which is more cost effective to the user. What they can afford. In the long term, both AMD and Intel can fail. Sometimes you just get a bad chip. It happens.
I know this is a overclocker forum, I have my own personal opinion on overclocking. While its cool to do, fun to learn. leaving it that way for prolonged periods of time can and will kill the cpu. Plus under normal use, you wont notice a difference anyway.
I realize under benchmark tests this or that chip runs better, again, real world, no difference.
IMHO, The BEST thing I did for speeds was switch my sata drive with a solid state drive. Goodness knows I have tweeked, upgraded this or that did all I could possibly do. When I made the jump to solid state, WOW!!
Ok, I am gonna shut up now. I am sure others will disagree. I just see so many users possibly frying a cpu because they believe overclocking will give them a much better faster machine. It simply does not work that way. There are so many other factors besides the cpu that dictates the speeds of your computer. To many to list.
LOL Let the flames begin.
