everyone says that intel is faster than AMD processors, but why? i look at the specs and cant see why there is such a difference in price and performance, why ?
Why is intel faster then amd?

Architectural differences.
Inside the little silver chip are these little hamsters that build cities. Some hamsters use strong pillars yet some hamsters use crappy pillars-- The difference between Intel and AMD.
But in reality it IS differences in architecture. See some benchmarks .

You should read up some on this stuff. There is a lot more to consider than cores and clock speeds.

To understand the differences, you have to look beyond the high-level specs.
For example, a 1.2GHz ARM CPU is still beaten by a 0.8 GHz Sandy Bridge CPU in performance.
Why is a Ferrari faster than Yugo? According to the specs, they both have 4 wheels and an engine.Originally Posted by Michael9127

Not just much, much higher memory bandwidth, but the massively faster caches, lower latencies, much shorter pipelines, etc.Originally Posted by Mule928
Mostly memory management. Intel is far superior.

Like everyone else is saying, the cpus are made differently, thats why. Those hamsters might have something to do with it as well though

I love analogies to explain why stuff works/don't work. LOL

Clock isn't everything. Each processor has sets of instructions. The less clocks per instruction, the more efficient it is per clock.
It is by executing these instructions that the processor is able to do work. In home desktops, generally, it's x86 or x86_64 instructions with the added SSE-SSE4, etc.
Intel's design is able to execute more instructions with the same clock cycles, so therefore, is faster than AMD at the same exact clock.

Plan and simple. Intel is like a 4 cylinder EFI engine with a turbo making 400hp and gets 40mpg(2500k). AMD is a V8 carburated 1950 style engine making 300hp and gets 15mpg(FX FX-8150). They both are prices within each other. You tell me which one is more efficient? In the world of CPU's more doesn't always mean better. A better architecture is what AMD needs. Get away from that "more is better" and get into per core efficiency and price/performance. IMO, They had it right with the Phenom II/Athlon II.

Lol that guy's funny. Maybe he's butthurt because he can't afford an Intel.Originally Posted by Ironman517
You give the AMD fanboys a bad reputation
I agree. Performance is what matters, brand does not.
