Which One is Better?

AMD

or

Intel

We need to know what you want out of your computer - games/internet/folding etc - are you going to overclock or leave stock etc - without that information any advice may well be correct, but wrong for you....

With the usual excess of information, yup....

It's going to be for my gaming rig, I would like the option of overclocking but if it isn't great at overclocking it's fine too. Also, wouldn't mind paying the extra $10.

Intel.

Intel is better, AMD is cheaper. I'd go with Intel too, except maybe try and get a Core i7 or i5.

Hi ,

Just go with AMD. I have AMD processor. It works good than Intel works. After long time Intel becomes slow than the AMD. Amd gives the best performance every time.

That makes absolutely no sense. Neither manufacture has a track record of having processors that lose performance over time. By the nature of silicon and digital devices such behavior should not occur. You might get "sudden Northwood failure syndrome" on an overvolted CPU, but all CMOS devices will experience this with excessive voltages.

I'd go with the AMD. Black Editions are known to be great for OCing. And with a great Mobo and HSF and stable OCing, ~4.0ghz is possible.
But i also agree with Zephik, try to go with the i7 or i5.
