The Classic Battle Between AMD And Intel

The Intel vs AMD seems to go on every other day. I personally never get sick of it at all. Both AMD and Intel have great processors and are both pretty fast. Not only are they good processors and extremely fast, I am not a fanboy of either. Of course I like to keep up to date with Intel and AMD. But here is why I think Intel will pull ahead of AMD this year. The only reason I really like AMD is because they bought out ATI and now ATI is AMD. Although I have mostly Nvidia video cards in all my old and new computers. My laptop is an exception to this obviously.
I have been doing a lot of research this week about the Intel Penyrn and the AMD phenom. From what I see they both look amazing. I do think that Intel will still have the upper edge because it’s much faster and has much more L2 cache. 12mb level 2 cache and a 3.0GHz processor and a 1600MB Front side bus. The also looks get but does not have as much as it should.
My current desktop PC has an AMD Athlon 64 bit 2.4GHz processor. It’s only a single core processor, but it is fast enough for me and I do a lot of multi-tasking on my desktop. My processor is faster because I added more memory to my main system board. I now use 2GBs of RAM in my computer. My desktop has got some nice speed and power to it so it really makes things easy for me.
In my laptop I have a Intel core duo 1.7GHz with one gig of ram. The only downside is that I run vista on my laptop and it makes my computer even slower. I really only use my laptop for school so I don’t need a lot of power. I am hoping when I get my MacBook that it becomes my main laptop. I will use it more then my Acer laptop with Windows Vista.

Classic? I remember the days when IBM, Motorola, and Intel were going at it. Eventual to fight back, IBM went to Apple and they formed the alliance AIM(Apple, IBM, Motorola), to fight back against Intel with the PowerPC. Sadly the powerpc finally ran out of strength around 2002. If only AIM continued this one PPC architecture, it could run Windows, the Mac OS, and UNIX on the same chip. It was used with only one product and then was discontinued in 95-96.
