AMD Quad Core or Intel Quad Core?

Hey, I've decided to build a new gaming PC! But my problem is, I'm not sure which processor is best for gaming. I want performace, something that will be able to handle really intense graphics and also one that's best for multi-tasking(such as 3D animation, web design and video editing), and also something that will last me in the long run.
Please help as I hope to buy one soon.

Thanks,

I still am a fan of Intel allways Intel

 

I'll always be a fan of Intel. So, I'd go with the intel quad core.

 

Keep them coming, I would like at least 15+ votes before I decide.

I always prefered AMD over intel. They are the best in terms of price = performance ratio.

 

I'm a Intel fan so my vote goes to Intel.

 

I don't relly care, but in my privacy computer I use Intel Quad Core
so my vote goes to Intel Quad Core

 

Might go for intel, but not totally sure yet, keep those votes coming in!

I have an Intel but AMD are generally better.

 

I prefer AMD. With Intel you can cook an egg on top of your motherboard LOL.

But I'm still using a Celeron Northwood LOL

 

My vote goes to Intel for sure. Built the home PC with Intel, and the work with AMD. My AMD machine cant handle the same work load. They are both very comparible machines too.

 

hmmm, not really sure now, too many mixed votes. If possible, please explain why you prefer the processor.

This one has the balls:

When I was buying my dual core I bought AMD but I thing that Intel was better option but it was much more expensive... For gaming I would have bought AMD...

 

The chip (amd or intel) if similar spec doesn't really matter that much with gaming machines

For gaming i would go with AMD, you can tweak amd's processor speed up a few notches...and put some good cooling in

You will also save money...with that u can buy a better graphics card... ...which is what will really deliver the performance

If you don't want to tweak just get the Intel then save up a bit more for the graphics card.

 

I suppose I could, but it's not just gaming I want to use the PC for, programming, animation and webdesign as well, something that will be able to handle all of those and more.

 

I like INTEL..

 

anyone else? I would like more votes.

AMD is my Favorite so AMD Quad Core all the way

 

My vote goes to AMD Quad core. You can even upgrade to Quad core straight from Athlon 64 socket AM2 without having to incur any costly motherboard upgrades.
