I support the underdog so that we can have decent performance at a decent price.
People should not be afraid of their government...governments should be afraid of their people.

I tend to rate Intel a tiny bit higher if gaming is the primary intended use of the PC, as their processors tend to push individual cores a bit harder (and most games still aren't designed to run on more then 2-4 cores at most despite 10-core processors being released), while AMD's are a bit better for running multiple processes across the cores... but the differences are fairly minor in the end.  An Intel processor costing $500 is going to be pretty similar in overall performance to an AMD costing the same, though each will do certain things slightly better than the other.

not to mention that intel heats slightly less, which can come in handy when you push them to their limit.

I don't notice it too much with my primary computer which runs an i7700, but my older laptop took a hit because of the security update intel had to push out. Not so much with gaming, but with my work stuff. I dont know if any of you have experienced the same issue. The prefetch being one of the things that made intel so fast, does it change lean the benifit to AMD processors?

AMD processors had the same security problem as well. If they haven't pushed an update just like that out yet, they will very soon.
It will take the same hit as intel processors had, so basicly you are at square 1
