AMD Phenom X4 or Intel Quad Core?

09-04-2009, 10:53 PM

I have been reading toms hardware reviews and it looks as if the Phenom is blowing the Intel chips away in benchmarks...

any feedback on this? which one would you get? AMD Phanom or Intel?

thx

I suspect you'll find the benchmarks and price point of building an i7 based system (intel) to dramatically outperforms AMD's class competitors.

That said, I was an avid AMD fan from the 800mhz (Duron or Tbird, cant remember) through the Athlon XP 3000 64-bit, which ran like a champ for me for almost 4 years.

You get better performance with the Intel I7 chip, but it also cost more.
Unless you REALLY need the performance, I would go with the AMD and spend a little more on getting a really good motherboard, good disk and extra Ram

Pretty sure it was Duron;)

I have been using AMD for years now unless your really into gaming I wouldn't expect you to notice a great deal of diff between the two processors. I have around 5 systems atm all running AMD and wouldn't use anything else.

AMD = best value

if you really need performance get i7

I think the new core i5's come out next week so the prices on the quad cores will probably be coming down.

I went with an i7 in my new system. I think i'm going to add an intel ssd; tried a friends system out with one and it's a whole different ball game.

Intel has owned AMD in a big way for the last several years.

Ok, WTF are you talking about? Even the low end i7920(which can overclok to the high end) is faster than this AMDx4.

get an i7. Its the fastest chip.

you can see one of the latest CPU tests here
http://techreport.com/articles.x/17402/3

Intel beats it - and on the workrelates tests, intel is really ahead. When it comes to image processing, its at least 30% ahead.

This is a score based on a full system, not just the CPU alone, So this is what you actually GET and not just some theory bullshit

Check the list of some sugested builds with both chips here in their 2009 Intel and AMD system guide

I got the i7 920 because I can overclock it easily on an ASUS P6T.

I would have rather gotten an AMD but the bench marks at the time for video encoding was low.

Can anyone explain why they would advise to get an AMD, other than you think the name is cool?

sure, I just built a new upgraded computer a couple months ago. I decided to go with phenom II. it was a price performance thing.
the i7's have better encoding performance, but at a higher price. not only the cpu price, but the ddr3 prices, and motherboard prices. the latter will fall over time for sure.
i'm satisfied with what i got for the prices. IIRC i went with some stable low latency memory, lower frequency memory over slightly faster mhz with heating stability and price downsides.
off the top of my head my motherboard cpu memory combo was probably 40% cheaper than a typical stable i7 build. like by that i mean a good asrock (an asus subdivision) motherboard and not ecs junk.
but, buy whatever suits you, just keep in mind in a few months the price has dropped and it is not nearly the fastest anymore.

Well if u are looking for a good price the AMD Phenom Quad core is a sure winner but if u don't mind shelling out a few hundreds then i7 is the way to go.

I have an AMD Phenom X4 in this machine and is running smoooth as hell..... not to mention that it blows out of the water my previous cpu when it comes to video encoding time

LOL, what benchmarks are you talking about. I think you misread something. Intel Quad cores in most benchmarks will beat AMD and i7 chips absolutely blow AMD out of the water. Not to mention power consumption.

Get a Intel Quad Core or if you have the money an i7 system.

The new i5's and i7's were released today. Looks like Intel laid the hammer down on AMD.

Not much more to add but to state as well that you should go with the Intel chip.

AMD chips are fine and perform well, but comparatively, Intel has dominated AMD since the first C2D was released.
AMD has continually played catch-up ever since and they tend to cut corners on chip design, typically regarding to memory, to try and release competive chips. Phoenom X3's anyone?

I've got the AMD Phenom 9650 Quadcore and love it! Running on 4 gigs of ram, it generally runs anything and everything I throw at it.
