AMD is a better choice for home PC's and laptops than intel

"Well, If that's the work she has to do. .. Why choose an expensive Intel instead of a cheap AMD which can do the work just as well? "Because an AMD chip doesn't work as well. The Pro fails to acknowledge that an Intel chip and an AMD chip running the same speeds, only do so in different situations. While one can operate at full speed in one task, the other operates full speed in another. "Dear Con, I too have an AMD and I have been using it for years at a stretch and so have my friends and we have never experienced that interesting phenomenon which you mention above. "Different people and different situations. Here, we often have 7 Internet connections. The Pro also fails to acknowledge locations. The US has a different internet speed than the rest of the world. What kind of difference? Well first, the US Internet Speed is lower than the average modernized/developed nation. This is likely due to the number of Americans accessing US servers, but the reason isn't relevant. (a)a) . http://www.ign.com...Here, running so many connections, we require a processor that can manage a faster connection, lest lag crashes that connection. "So, the way you mention the gallons of water is not very appropriate at relating the speeds of the CPU's. "It's relevant for it's only purpose. .. To demonstrate how faster but smaller workloads produce a different performance than slower but larger workloads. "but please understand that the quickness of these processors are not required for Processing of Documents or surfing the net. Does the internet have to download that huge amount of instructions? Obviously not! even if someone is surfing with 10+ tabs in the internet explorer. "It does in the US, most houses have many different connections. Every Iphone and even most TVs now-a-days drain on that connection. As for documents, many are written on Google Docs and/or require internet access. Many DDO members write their stuff on Microsoft Word, and need internet for research. A lot of people's offline stuff still require things from online. As for the workload. .. No it doesn't have to download a large amount of data, which is why a processor with smaller workload can work. What it needs is speed. You see, the issue with processing the Internet isn't the workload, but that the workload must be downloaded. Anyone can tell you that the first time you open a most programs, it takes a long time to load because it has to download the information. Afterwards, it's merely bringing the information up from the Hard drive. The Internet goes on Temp Memory, so it doesn't usually stay downloaded, especially after you clean the Temp Memory. The Internet has to download every new page and advertisement and update and etc. .. Facebook is bad about that. For this reason, Intel is better for computers really meant more for the Internet and for simply organizing your life. "And as for the link shared, the exact words given there are "AMD chip operating at 2.8GHz processes data faster than an Intel chip running at 4.0GHz. Even though the Intel chip is going faster in MHz, it is doing less work per clock cycle. "What it means is that the Intel Chip is faster, but the AMD chip can tear away at larger piles faster. This doesn't work so well when the piles aren't all there, and are coming in faster than the chip can process. So while a large pile will disappear faster under an AMD chip (what the site was saying), only Intel can keep up with a continuously growing pile. This means an AMD chip can download a game off a DVD faster because the whole game is there, but can't keep up with continuous loading from sources that do not directly connect to the computer. "I have argued and said that internet speed is something that AMD processors even if being comparatively slower can easily handle. "In your country, and without 7 other computers and half (exaggeration) the things in the house requiring Internet. (b)b) . http://www.businessweek.com... "Other things that require more speed than workload. .. ?? Name of one "thing" please? Autocad? Maya 2013? Graphic edit? Even if these are not generally used at homes. .. Still, The AMD processor having better GPU's can easily beat the Intel processors at these tasks. "Google Doc, Bios Updates, Streaming movies, Anything that requires downloading from another source that isn't directly hooked up to the computer. Every Google Gadget on the side of your screen, MMO's even. You know what it's really needed for? Facebook and, you know, Skype. Now you're talking about download-heavy programs. Intel is better for download-heavy programs. Also, when connecting to your Xbox, Smart Phone, TV, and any other wifi-capable objects in your house. "overclocking" means that if a processor is designated to run at 2.5 GHz and if we mingle with the bios or the motherboard and increase the speed to 3 Ghz, then we say that we are overclocking it. Yes, Intel processors can be overclocked too, but it's not safe to mingle with them but when we have an AMD, we so-called "have the freedom" to mingle. "Most people do not Overclock, and never intend to. This is a side feature for a select few, and is not relevant to the majority of people, and is really only important, or even remotely relevant, to people wanting to max their Gaming Experience, and even then, not many will Overclock to do so. For any other PC, overclocking is irrelevant. If AMD has to overclock, a dangerous process, to be better than Intel, than is it really better? The best way to avoid the biggest risks of Overclocking is expansive installments (like extra cooling systems) which can still cause damage over time. (c)c) . http://www.buzzle.com...CONCLUSION............The Pro fails to consider different countries, situations, and the multiple variables that come with. For a Gamer who wants to overclock, and doesn't need fast internet, AMD is the best choice. For anyone who needs to be able to make a fast connection or download things smoothly, and have no concerns about Gaming or Overclocking, Intel is the way to go. Because internet connections, especially in the US, and especially in families where almost everyone has a computer connecting to the internet, is constantly downloading small amounts of data, the heavy workload of an AMD is not needed, while the speed of an Intel is. Since the two are used best for different things, and everyone has a different reason for needing a home computer and have different variables added into their situation and where they live, it's only logical to conclude that AMD is not a perfect overall choice for every computer.
