Still hard to tell...but AMD were the first ones of course. Intel definitely has potential though, they'll catch up like they always do. But nope, AMD was first.

Right know I would definately give it to AMD because they came up with the first x86-64 bit instructions. All intel did was reverse engineer them ..so the P4 64's really have jus a backwards AMD64 instruction set.

it doesnt matter who you vote for, intel reverse engineered AMD64
but if u go AMD its better in a way coz athlon64 has Hyper Transport wich owns intels FSB. it can also dual core much much better thanks to HTT.

Definitely AMD IMO.

AMD64, but the reasons aren't as obvious as the first appear to be.
Yes EM64T is a sideways compatible copy of the AMD64 INSTRUCTION set
No EM64T does not have a fully 64bit native pipeline from end to end, don't believe me? Try using the LAME MP3 encoder for 64bit on it, it'll get held up on some legacy 32bit components in the pipeline and perform even slower than the 32bit edition.
No EM64T does not scale in servers due to having a memory bus bottleneck (theres companies working on this already but I'm under NDA )
No EM64T does not have a fast enough bus to feed it under higher end 64bit apps using exactally the same bus type intel's used since the introduction of the ram/cpu/hd relationship just at higher clock.
so, amd64 no brainer especially in server implementations since a xeon can not scale with memory. Nothing like an 8way xeon having exactally the same memory bandwidth between all 8 as a single xeon!
