What's makes them better

[Guest]

I have looked at a bunch of amd and intel processors and statistically the amd's should do better. but when i look at their benchmarks, intel seems to do better. can someone explain this to me? my friend said it was because of hyperthreading technology for intel and the fact that there were supposedly some compatibility issues for amd with windows 7.
I just want to hear an explanation from a real whiz on the subject.

third post down by Supernova says it pretty well. Basically boils down to efficiency in workload and efficiency in design.

Amd is like using an abacus to do math when intel is using a calculator.

So in a nutshell basically intel just gets more done per mhz than amd processors?

Correct.
You can't compare processors purely based on the stats you have to take into account the architecture of the chip.
