Intel and AMDFight for a superior processorTyler Hussey01/17/2014Introduction“Which is better, AMD or Intel? is a constantly debated question among those involved in IT. There are many reasons to choose one side over the other, as both have their pros and cons. Intel and AMD are the most prevalent processor manufacturing companies, which creates competition between the two. This question is a byproduct of this competition. Only by knowing each company and what their product has to offer can a person make a decision about what to buy based on their needs. IntelIntel is a multinational semiconductor chip manufacturing company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Founded on July 18, 1968, it is the world's largest and most valuable semiconductor chip manufacturer (based on company revenue) and is also the inventor of the x862 series processor. It was founded by two men, Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce; the duo came from the company Fairchild Semiconductor. Intel's first product after its inception was the Schottky TTL 3101 64-bit bipolar static RAM, which was almost twice as fast as previous iterations from Fairchild and other competing companies. The same year, 1969, Intel also manufactured the 1024-bit Schottky 3301 bipolar read-only memory and the first publicly available metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor silicon gate SRAM chip, which was the 1101-bit of 256 bits. the company grew quite a bit in the years to come, as it expanded and improved the way products were made, and produced a wider range/variety of these products. Even though Intel created the first publicly available processor (Intel...... middle of paper...... and it all depends on how much you really want to spend. Intel has higher performance processors, but all that means they have a wider range of choices AMD offers processors that can compete with Intel, but if you want the best value or want the highest performance, Intel has proven itself to be at it. height an entirely different playing field Intel and AMD will continue to compete as long as both companies live, and ultimately, everyone's experience with either company's processor is this. which determines whether one will buy it or not You hear enough bad things about AMD and Intel not wanting to buy either one, but in reality there is no. other choice than to choose a company that has good reviews and stick with it regardless of which company produced it..
