AMD or Pentium

[Diomedes]

Now my understanding of computers is ... well none. So I was wondering for gaming what is better in a laptop a AMD or Pentium most people I know say AMD but I don't know so I am looking for some info and opinions. Please keep the language, I am special lol :laughing:

I would go with a AMD man it his better then pentium . Also, this is just my opion I wouldn't game with a laptop!I dont think there really good for gameing.

[Diomedes]

ok thats 1 to AMD and none to pentium anyother takers?

[caprera]

AMD and no laptop

[Diomedes]

I need the laptop for school so I am afraid can't change that. But thats two to AMD & none to Pentium this looks like a one sided battle

[Bull Warrior]

Only one way for me since i am with pc since i was 10 AMD for varius reasons.
1.is the company that never lies against the customer cause his products is what his promise.
2.the AMD procecors was always more "hot"and sensitive in temperatures but this now it doesnt happen anymore since the 64bit technology that first AMD reached with easy against Intel.
3.The Nforce chipshet from Nvidia is more stuble than the Intel chipshet and more cheap in money.
4.You can change a procecor in a mobo(motherboard)for AMD without changing the motherboard but with a Intel chipshet motherboard you cant do it and you need to give more money to update your pc.
5.Right now the AMD procecors are far more stable low temperature and work better with games and multimedia programs from Intels procecors.
6.I agree for one thing that Intel maded great steps in technology in procecors with the centrino platform and actually is the reason why i buyed a centrino notebook and guys believe is kicking to the bone.

I have a Northwood C core and I'm upgradig to Conroe as soon as it comes out.

That last one means Pentium btw.
For almost any price range AMD is a better cpu for gaming, Intel is making inroads again (finally) but stick with AMD and you will safe, not that Intel actually has anything wrong with it's chips.
It's just that basically AMD has the best 'bang for buck' even if some Intel chips do outperform AMD ones (possibly, as Im not sure about the newest ones).

[Emperor Dimitricus]

AMD all the way

[Legionary Jezza]

AMD because to me its more efficent.

Now guys hes NOT talking about desktop, for a desktop I would say AMD, since its one of the best gaming processor out right now. BUT, for a laptop, you should get a Intel Pentium M, or Intel Core Duo. It really saves a lot of battery life, and its as good at gaming as AMD. Also the Intel Core Duo is the only moble dual core processor in the market right now. Just make sure your laptop comes with a good graphics card, and you will be all set.

BTW, I have a AMD laptop, and I can tell you that its heavy, the battery only lasts a little more than an hour, and its very very hot. The air coming out of the laptop is so hot, it even melted the paint on my cheap plastic table.

I've had an FX-51 and an FX-53, both when they first came out. I've also had a Pentium Extreme Edition (or Emergency Edition, lol). Both brands have been great chips for me over the past few, so I can't really recommend one over the other. But I will say that when it comes to bang for the buck, AMD is usually ahead in that department.

[Lee1026]

Well, AMD do make laptop chips, so if you are buying them then make sure you get one of them. (Spelling of it escape my head for now) It start with a T.

[invictus]

I with my FX-60, have only used amd's, except our first comp in 94, that was old school pentium. Aside from that, with my bros pent 4 in his comp and my laptop with pent 4, ill go with amd all the way. -Leon

11 to 2 I think, my maths aint that good either

All right looks like its going to be a AMD for laptop. Thanks guys for all the help and putting up with me
