Yes, that's right, hot live sex!AMD r0xx0rz Intel...
It's more stable, easier to overclock, and has better benchmarks. Intel is more expensive for a reason. It's name brand, like Ambercrombie and Fitch.

Sorry bud, Intel is garbage. No self respecting wirehead even regards them as an option.
read here and here for the specifics.
A 1.5 Ghz Pentium 4 will benchamark slower than a 800Mhz Pentium 3.

Yes, that's right, hot live sex!And no, Intel uses no different or higher quality "meterials" in thier processor construction, and the line about longer CPU life seems to have been pulled directly from your sphincter.
Bealzabuv, I'd like a screenshot of your system's benchmarks at normal and at OC.

You're Usuing a buisness/home use benchmark score to compare a Processor designed for gaming and a processor designed for buisness oriented applications And trying to compare them using the Buisness application benchmarks. p4 in games beats athglons hands down in all areas associated with gaming and yes benchmark scores are higher than p4's in other areas... but if you wanna talk overall use the p3's to compare alathon's not p4's... I don't like p4's personally and will never buy one... But i Can't Wait for the Itanium.
But the AMD is MADE for gaming. And only games specifically designed to take advantage (Read:Few) of the pentiums show a better performance.
Yes, that's right, hot live sex!And, again, according to a review by PCGamer, an AMD 1.3Ghz CPU will beat out a Pentium 1.7Ghz CPU for framerates in MDK2, Q3 arena, Tribes2, and Unreal Tournament, all of which are classic PC game yardsticks. The Pentium 4 graphics subset is also, plain and simple, crap.
Ask anyone who does actual coding: Which would you rather optimize for? Thunderbird or Pentium 4? The coder will probably laugh for a couple minutes, assuming you were making an attempt at levity.
Intels formula for success seems to be to wow everyone with blazing clockspeed so maybe they won't notice that the overall throughput sucks moose nuggets.
AMD's blow Pentium 3's out of the water, and Pentium 3's blow Pentium 4's out of the water. There's just no contest.

The Itanium has been delayed so much it's sick. It won't even be ready by the end of the year. In the mean time, there are other more mature 64-bit processors out there that already have proven themselves. These include Sun's UltraSparc chips, there are other solutions like SGI's MIPS based chips and IBM's PowerPC chips that are developed by Motorola. And up until a few days ago, Alpha chips were still a strong competitor against Itanium's, but Compaq decided to go and be even bigger Wintel lackeys and sell all their Alpha technology to Intel. The last time Intel tried to buy chip technology was with their StrongARM chips. The entire development team walked out and quit developing the chips as a result.
The fact of the matter is that Intel has made some really crappy decisions and Pentiums are suffering as a result. P3's aren't able to keep up with Athlon's. P4's suffer from being built on P3 technology (which makes them slower to begin with), but also from the fact that they require RDRAM, which is horribly slow compared to super fast DDR SDRAM that AMD uses with their chipsets.
All this and the fact that thew new nForce chipset being developed by NVidia will only work with AMD processors and the fact that the latest SiS 765 chipset screaming fast when compared to it's Intel cousin and also to AMD's best mobo chipset and you can't argue that AMD doesn't r0x0r Intel. There is simply too much information supporting this fact.
Again, dig up some hard numbers and we can debate them. I for one haven't seen any. Instead of being a mindless fanboi, try reading a little and learning about your hardware, yo.

Please link to a benchmark that proves this claim.
Then the common sence says that if my 1.0Ghz is getting better performce than my friends 1.5Ghz P4, then there's something wrong.
