Default Processor speeds

How do you tell what the speed of an Intel or AMD processor is? What is
the best type?

Thanks,

Default Processor speeds

Processor speeds are largely irrelevant these days due to the rapidly
changing state of processor development. The last time that I checked, Intel
processors were favored for their performance - but there was news about AMD
"catching up" very soon (haven't heard about that yet).

The decision regarding a processor is one that only you can make.
Unfortunately, it takes a bunch of reading and research to make an informed
choice. You'll find people who swear by the AMD's and you'll find others who
swear by the Intel's. Who's right? I dunno.

Finally, some consideration must be given to how you'll use the processor.
Do you game? Do you do a lot of video editing? Or, do you just surf the web
and check your email? Each processor has different things to offer for each
of these scenarios - and it'll get even more confusing as you blend them
together to try and get the most effective mix for your system.

Now, all this having been said - I'm an Intel fan myself.
