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

Thank you con, for your arguments. Here, I would like to point out some arguments.... " She just needs something to write papers, and do research, and basically keep her life organised." 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? Human ignorance has worked too well for Intel...Just go to any household and ask " What's the name of your processor?" and they will either frown or reply with a blank expression "What's a processor?" Another instance, when one has an AMD processor, He/She is most likely to know a lot about processing power, GPU's, threads,cores etc...and that is why he has an AMD...because he knows that AMD is the right choice. Check out Hexus.net for good reviews. " The Internet is moving so fast, that the slower AMD processor can't get it moved in time (trust me, I know. I have one...)" 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. Let me explain, 2.5 GHz is a very, very and very high speed when we compare it with numbers. 2500 MHz is literally taking up 2500000000 (10^9 * 2.5) number of instructions and that too by just 1 core and we all know that nowadays the CPU's have multi cores...So, the way you mention the gallons of water is not very appropriate at relating the speeds of the CPU's. Yes, I do submit to the point that Intel processors are faster at workload due to the multi threads 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. 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." "Many need Intel for internet speed and other things that require more speed than workload.." As for the first part in the statement, I have argued and said that internet speed is something that AMD processors even if being comparatively slower can easily handle. 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...Checkout www.legitreviews.com for the stats. As my worthy opponent says, that the AMD-MHz doesn't equal to the Intel-MHz , for instance, AMD 1 GHZ < Intel 1 GHZ...Then, why don't we overclock the AMD? Well, AMD has a record in the Guinness book in overclocking! "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. Of course it will be dangerous to overclock the processor to insane speeds but it still is comparatively safer by a large margin to mingle with an AMD than an Intel. CONCLUSION............ My worthy opponent has given very good and simple way of explaining how cores and threads work but by no means does that suggest that AMD is not better than an Intel at home.(as con as agreed to debate that neither brand is better) So, the question still remains...Why choose an costly Intel over a cheap AMD when the work done at home gives AMD the chance to excel ?
