    A very broad question. Here's a broad answer:

    In a practical sense, if you're purchasing a system...
    • An AMD based system may be less expensive for the same performance as an Intel system.
    • There exists a greater selection of Intel based systems.
    • [*soapbox alert*] Both companies excel at avoiding apples-to-apples system comparisons through the use of arbitrary naming schemes and dizzying array of product models.

    In a practical sense, if you're building a system...
    • There exists a greater selection of Intel motherboard vendors.
    • There exists a greater selection of Intel heatsink vendors.
    • Personal experience: Intel processors on Intel motherboards yield more stable and longer lasting systems. All of the AMD systems I've built have succumbed to motherboard failure and one even caught fire when a capacitor leaked.

    In the technical sense...


    If you're trying to make a decision, post your specific quandary.

    Intel is more powerful,
    Amd is less expensive.
