AMD or Intel ?

In the field of producing processors, all the manufacturers are disappeared or will do soon ,but Intel and AMD are the only survivors. Most of computer users ask which is the best. No doubt that Intel is no.1 in producing the most powerful processors but AMD processors are also powerful. Inter processors introduce higher processing speed for games and multitasking applications but there are many disadvantages:
- It gives out great heat and that raise the temperature of the processor and decrease its life, and you may need to buy cooling systems which are expensive.
-Intel's processors are very expensive specially the new ones.
-Intel depends on the core speed only and doesn't provide special technologies ( Hyper threading is the only one)

AMD is doing well to introduce unique technologies to enhance performance and to build smart processors. It cares about the power efficiency and its processors are designed to reduce the power needed for operating. It was the first company to build a 64-bit processor and it was the first manufacturer of the multicore processors. Also the prices of the processors are reasonable. You can see this processor to know about AMD technologies. I personally prefer AMD.
