AMD VS Intel what do you prefer? :D

I here you. Intel is a bit hit and miss when it comes to consistency. A lot of people reach the high 4's with their 2500/2600Ks some people reach the limit at 3.7 or 3.8. Then there are some who hit the jackpot and get a golden sample batch and reach the mid 5's (albeit with more extreme solutions for cooling). AMD, I find, are much more consistent across the board in this sense.

God, mid 5's? That's fucking incredible. Wish I could get there.

They typically use chillers or LN2 pot solutions.

Intel, Its more popular and seems to work better for my computer.

Definitely, for me it feels like Intel takes shortcuts, while AMD makes a quality chip (albeit not the best buy quality for the budget). I really hope AMD doesn't die out.

I mean overclocking with ease I would give to AMD, but I don't think so when it comes to quality.
It's pretty much a known fact that Intel chips have better architecture.

Meh, all of mine burned out and I've never had an AMD CPU burn out, my experiences just haven't been good with Intel so I can't trust them.

All of them burned out? The fuck? What did you try overclocking with a stock heat sync or some shit?

Back before I started doing any serious gaming I had an Intel cpu that went strong for about 7 years.
Though I've never burned out a cpu either way, being AMD or Intel.

I've had nothing but problems with my previous two builds with amd (granted it was like 6 years ago and probably the mobo). Intel or shut the fuck up.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe you should of taken the CPU out of it's packet XD
