AMD Vs Intel

I am using Intel Pentium Processor, But I am only using my PC in games and Browsing internet but mostly in gaming. I can play games sometimes 18hrs/day...I've noticed every long time of gaming, my PC turn to be hang and I hate that thing! somebody said I'm going to shift to another processor, the AMD. but when I ask them why. they can't give me the good answer...that's why I joined to this forum.

What are the difference of two?
why is it AMD is more reliable than Intel? in terms of gaming??

First of all,

That was a long while ago before the Intel Core 2 Duos and Core 2 Quads came out.
These NEW Intel chips surpass AMD chips and is way better at gaming.

However...

It is suspected that with the purchase of ATI by AMD, the combination of the chipsets will soon result in much better performance.

Much of the intel lead right now comes from the 45nm technology (as opposed to AMDs 65nm). This allows for more transistors per silicon space; and also allows for operating at lower voltges = lower temps.

AMD is still the choice for overclocking (as far as I am aware - which is not to say it is necessarily fact). AMD is planning a launch of a 45nm chip this year, and I think it will be interesting to see what happens. Intel is making improvements - but AMD is about to make huge leaps.

Well first off.. let me say you should think about getting outside.. playing video games is one thing.. but 18 hours a day...

But really.. AMD vs intel depends on a lot of things, the mains things are budget and what you are going to be used for. So knowing these things would help.

Oh and mrsafety, intel chips tend to clock quite a bit better now the AMD sadly

First of all, like 18 hours a day is really too much ... except if it is football manager you are talking about.

Now, about PC being slower after long time running some game. It is not because of processor. Nor Intel, nor AMD will slow down because it is used for long time. Sometimes games and operating system are badly programmed and they have something called "memory leak". Program (game in this case) allocate memory and "forgets" to "free" allocated memory after it no longer use it. Also, program (game) might buffering a lot of things. This leads to operating system thinks that it needs more memory than it needs in reality because it can not realocate allocated memory when program needs it again. After some time this will inevitably lead to the stage when not enough physical memory is available and computer slows down. There are two things you can do at this point, one is to get more memory (although this will just delay critical point) and second is to reboot computer and continue with destroying remaining pieces of your social life (sometimes just restarting game can be enough).

I know bball.. I'm just in denial.

Dear mphill,

You have a good point! That is probably one of the main reasons it slows down after long playing! Windows itself could also have this??? Just wondering??

Personally I think Intel has been way ahead of the game just a little after the old Barton Cores.

Ya.. I mean the 939 was a good go for AMD as well.. but intel was still much more of the workhorse.. AMD had gaming and whatnot... But especially when the p4 HT processors were released...

Poor AMD

A moment of silence please. *silence*

Ok that's good...

no csilence for the ass kicking amd got LOL :P


List your system specs and we can go from there....



Also dude ever heard of unplugging and playing football other than madden on a 360/ps3/whatever the fuck you got?
