Both are good. I had both of them before and they've performed well. I'd say that it's really the choice of the consumer. But just to inform you which one is the market leader it is Intel. Majority of the PC's, Laptops & Servers sold runs on Intel Processor. But in some countries AMD dominates. So if you ask me which one is better my answer is both of them. It is the advantage of the consumer which one he or she prefers. Good luck and hope I helped a little. Just an additional info there are also other processors available in the market too. Cheers.

AMD is a budget device, ...for each GHz of clock speed Intel Beats AMD ...but for each Pound/Dollar, AMD beats Intel. Budget AMD Fusion with integrated graphics, has better performance than Budget Atom with integrated graphics...Intel graphics is not the same level as AMD graphics. AMD processors have until recently been more power hungry, so in laptops, battery life has been poor, so not may laptops with AMD processors. I have always used AMD because they offer good value for money. With multiple cores and good support for virtualisation, I think AMD is the way to go, for the economically minded. If I were a gamer though and money was no object, then perhaps Intel would be ideal.

The processor defines not only the output of a computer but also the memory type and the price of the whole notebook. Keep in mind that there is no one best notebook processor for all tasks!



When choosing a laptop configuration is not to chase top megahertz processor. Mobile processors significantly more expensive than desktop processors, but with the growth of this difference is the clock frequency is increased even more. Buy processor with three or four steps below the highest frequency available for this model - processor`s output is more than enough for any modern application, and you will save a significant amount of money.





Today there are only two companies on the market to produce processors: Intel and AMD. Processors used in laptops, different from those set forth in desktop computers. AMD like Intel have processors, specially designed for mobile computers. These processors differ introduction of technology to reduce energy consumption.



Currently, Intel took a leadership on mobile processor market. Most laptops using Intel processors. The main advantage is Intel SpeedStep technology, which allows to reduce power consumption by reducing the clock frequency with minimal downtime or load.



Dual processors are now available for notebooks too. To replace Intel Centrino is a new version of processors for laptops - Intel Core Duo. I would recommend Core 2 Duo at that time if you plan to use a laptop as an alternative to a desktop system want to launch some modern games on your notebook from time to time, the most optimal choice for you then will be a model based upon double core processor and is preferable to select a high-performance model processor Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core Duo, Intel Pentium T, AMD Turion.



In all other cases (for the office business applications) Intel Celeron and AMD Sempron models are still enough.



if you want buy a laptop it depends your needs.. but to date the leader in mobile is intel - then go for intel beacuse of this reasons; (The main advantage is Intel SpeedStep technology, which allows to reduce power consumption by reducing the clock frequency with minimal downtime or load.)



hope it could help you... :)

Purely a matter of preference. Look at the number of processor cores, clock speed, and number / type / capacity of those caches. Given the same units of measurement (GB - Gigabytes, MB - Megabytes, GHz - Gigahertz, etc) bigger numbers are usually better : ) For a laptop, If it's a low-voltage or power-stepping model that means it'll save you some battery life.



And remember that memory is always your best bang for the buck in terms of your overall 'user experience'. Just keep in mind most version of Windows don't support more than 3 GB of memory (for now.)



Anyways, there hasn't been a major chip flaw in like, 13 years, so if you want to save a few bucks, go AMD: keep competition alive!!

Intels are more powerful, but AMDs are less stressful on your battery, so it depends on what you plan on using your laptop for. Games and high graphics-based software I would go with the Intel chip. For word processing and office/business use, the AMD chips, plus the AMDs are generally cheaper than Intel.

No matter if its a laptop or Desktop.....INTEL is the best.....

For notebook Pc i say its better u dont choose AMD...

choose intel....the price will have a great difference but the performance too......
