... Introduction
I am doing my report on the comparison between AMD microprocessors and Intel microprocessors. The two types of processors I will mainly be dealing with will be the AMD Athlon processor and the Intel Pentium 4 processor. ... The AMD Athlon processor is my recommendation to a person who is looking for a great processor and does not plan to use the computer for anything other than normal use such as using the Internet, writing papers, and playing games. However, for a person who is not so much worried about cost and is worried about performance to do more things with the computer other than a normal person would I recommend the Intel Pentium 4 processor. ...
Intel was founded in 1968 and they came out with their first chip in 1971. ... Intel has been coming out with faster chips ever since then and this has helped them to dominate the microprocessor market. Intel currently controls about 74% of the microprocessor market today.
AMD was founded on May 1, 1969 and the first office headquarters was in the living rooms of the co-founders. In their first 5 years AMD grew to make annual revenue of 26. ... This growth has helped them to become the only suitable competitor to Intel. ... The price of the top of the line Intel Pentium 4 processor on TechDepot. ... Also Intel is expensive because Intel makes their own motherboards. Since Intel makes their own motherboards, the Pentium 4 processors only work with Intel motherboards which are more expensive then regular brand motherboards. In comparison, the price of a top of the line AMD Athlon processor on ExtremeTech. ... Also AMD can be used with any type of motherboards so a person can by a very cheap motherboard and it would work just fine so this cuts cost by a considerable margin.
