    I don't even consider AMD to be INTEL's competitor. They are only following what INTEL does and doing it the wrong way just to be different.

    It switches off which company has the better cpu's at different times.
    right now its intel. before the core 2 duo, it was AMD.
    The intel is the best cpu for now.
