Intel vs AMD : Choosing your dual core processor


Yeah, with dual core pcs seen everywhere , you might jus start to think of getting one for yourself, yeah the majors being Intel and AMD .... as AMD is gaining popularity day by day and in very few months or even days it might be the one which is used widely !!!
you may just ask me why, just see this awesome technical head on review of the two dual-core processors on various areas such as day-to-day computing , Gaming, Multitasking, Photo editing, mp3 encoding, Video encoding, and finally Price & Performance ...

Guessed the results ???

Here they are , ( courtesy - Cnetreviews)
Day-to-day computing - AMD
Gaming                               - AMD
Multitasking                     - AMD
Photo editing                   - AMD
mp3 encoding                  - AMD
Video encoding               - AMD
Price & Performance     - AMD

and here's some from tom's hardware
Data compression with WinRAR: AMD system has 29.5% better performance;
MP3 encoding of the CD:                   AMD system has 4.7% better performance;
DivX encoding of the DVD:               AMD system has 28.2% better performance;
3D game Farcry:                                    AMD system has 21.4% better performance.

a point to note here from tom's :: Despite the clock rate of the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ with 2.4 GHz, which is lower than the Intel Pentium 840 EE with 3.2 GHz, the AMD system is able to hold its own.

don't believe me ?
