better for gaming?

Core 2 is king right now.

 

Yep. I can't wait until more games start taking advantage of quad cores, too.

 

I'd recommend amd, cheaper and does the job perfectly well.

 

Core 2 is intel, amd also has it's duel cores and so fourth, but at the moment, alot of games aren't taking advantage of these features.
I'd recommend amd2, but if you want the best of the best at this very moment, not long term when they are beefed up and used more, core 2.

If your wanting a fast gaming machine, id recommend a desktop pc with a beefy 3d card rather than a laptop, you can upgrade alot better in the future.

 

Core 2 is an Intel chip. It's just a better architecture all around. Doesn't eat too much power, doesn't generate a mini-sun inside your case, and as far as I know, it's the best performing chip for games that you can get. If you've got the money for it, it's the CPU you want.

 

I would say that's more portable than most, yes. It'd probably be much more portable and light than carrying around one of Dell's monstrosities, anyways.

 

Don't thank me, thank your local Wendys and it's new Baconator Combo.

Wendys: Do what tastes right.

 

AMD X2 Core

Love AMD chips

 

Don't listen to this heathen. Intel = best.

 

Equivalent in name but in performance, no. Intel Dual/Quad Cores are the best processors this time around. As said before, they generate less heat and run more efficiently.

 

You need to list more specs than just "ATI".

 

ummno, its the other way around amd are the ones that causes less hit and are efficient. Intel processors heat up like a *****. i swear they can become thier own heat source.

 

That hasn't been the case for a long time. This isn't Athlon vs Pentium 4.

 

Yep.

 

How does that rank compared to the Radeon X-series?
