AMD chips vs. Intel chips (poll)
What do you think, AMD Athlon XP, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Pentium-M, or the new revamped Pentium-M Intel's Dothan? For me, it's AMD Athlon 64 all the way
 ! 64-bit shall dominate over 32-bit for ever!

Amd makes fine chips, too bad they have companies like VIA making mobo chipsets for them. In college I worked for a local computer company which supplied thousands and thousands of computers to Mich State University, and 9 out of 10 times if there was a problem with the machine, it had a VIA chipset.
That is why Intel gets the thumbs up from me, because their chipsets are generally stable and results in less quirky windows use. |

a64 coz they perform better in gaming and cheaper than intel cpus in most cases... and coz its 64-bit
but this is just taking into account chips i'd choose a p-m for laptops :P

dothans are the best. almost as strong as amd4, but lighter and a lot more battery time. i think their is no dillema. p m is by far the most advanced chip on the market.

same speeds as the banias? as in 1.7 only? lol ok man
5% ISNT a big increase especially since u dont notice it in all applications, and games run at the same speeds. and about the amd battery life: amd 64 has 150-200 minutes of battery life centrino/dothan has 200-300 minutes of battery life so yea amd loses but its not as bad as the p4 chips, its still portable.

Especially if you are gaming, you will get at least 2 hours from the AMD and not much more out of the Dothan. Admittedly once they are clocked down, the Dothan starts to win out, but for power usage, there's not much in it.

I voted for AMD64.
Though for notebooks, dothan is the winner imho. |
