no, the clock speed for AMDs is relatively about half that of Intel processors while executing the same number of operations. This means intel needs about double the clock speed to run as well as AMDs, and that simply isn't possible while keeping a low temperature. With the Intel Core 2 Duo, they've fixed this problem, and Core 2s run about the same operations per second as the AMDs with the same clock speeds.
Edit: in fact, Core 2s supposedly wipe the floor with the existing AMDs

and why dont people build custom computers anymore? (buying parts separately). i find it very fun 
Maybe a year or two ago, yes. I was an AMD Fanboy to death back then, but since the core 2 duo, AMD have fallen waaaay behind 
Core 2 Duo are far better than AMD AM2 processors. |

RE: Computer Suggestions?
Core 2 Duo's are the best bang for the buck, for around $400 CAD, you can get the E6600 which can outperform the AMD FX-61.

For a good "bang for the buck" comparison, look at the E6600 numbers vs AM2 5000+, which cost about the same.
It's nice to see Intel sticking it to the AMD fanboys for once -- and they've really done it this time.

O.P. RE: Computer Suggestions?
I am going to sound like a noob.. But are these Intel Core 2 duo better than a Pentium 4?!  |
