- I strongly urge readers to examine the full benchmark review link posted in this article. It provides good information on what building blocks these processors were benchmarked on.

- So what you're saying is: "AMD performs better than Intel, but buy Intel anyway."

(4 Comments)While the ZD Labs attempt to make the playing field as even as possible when benchmarking processors, the subtle differences in platforms can create results that favor AMD in some cases, and Intel in others.
It is for this reason that I do not believe articles like this should be written. Is it possible to do an exact processor-to-processor comparison between Intel and AMD? My opinion is no.
However, you can compare the two companies.
Even though AMD has been able to create new processors and processor features, it has not created new market share for their products. Nor do they have the ability to provide the marketplace with enough of their processors to even compete at Intel?s level.
Intel?s product pipeline in the upcoming months and years will provide the marketplace with some of the most innovative and revolutionary technologies for the home, business, government, education, science, and research.
I am sure the AMD vs. Intel discussion will continue for years and years to come. Regardless of who argues what, look beyond the processor speed, and examine the truly important question of which company can produce and deliver amazing technologies for decades to come, and meet/create demand in the marketplace.
I believe the answer to that question is Intel.

Give me a break.
AMD doesn't have Intel's market share, so you should buy Intel.
Give me a break.
How could any company gain market share if people only bought the product of the company with the largest market share? It doesn't make any sense; you have no argument, no leg to stand on.
