I have heard about the heat issue before as well. However, I never had any heat issues with AMD processors I have used. This seems more like a misconception that has hurt AMD's sales.
WHat do you think are the reasons for Intel's Domination in the processor space today?
Previously,it was primarily because of Mononpolistic Practices by Intel;but is that the same reason today?
I am not sure,my personal feelings is that it is more to do with the fact that AMD's not in very good shape(financially);so many Vendors are unsure if it will still be standing a Year from now.
Clairvoyant, i agreed with you. If the class of non-technical minded consumers of PC, Laptop, Tablet and of course smartphone do really care about components espacially processors that drive the devices, market share ratio would be very different.
For the average computer user, the CPU brand isn't going to matter. However, when it comes to high end gaming or workstation computers, there are differences. There is the constant battle between the manufacturers to have the highest processing power CPU's at good prices. AMD used to have the best processors for the price when they first released the Athlon 64 series. Since then, Intel has taken a big lead with their processors. I believe Intel still holds the largest portion of the marketplace.
You have many factors into consideration to choose system running on either of the 2 processors. In the past, i went to market to buy computer i wasnt care really much about Intel or AMD processor in the end i went for system based on Intel.
Few years later --- as the machine getting old incapable to handle my tasks, then if the new system is not AMD based i would not buy. Why?
Here are my reasons: Speed, Jitter, Interrupt and also OS is another important stuff to watchout for - Windows XP or 7 but Windows Vista disaster for me, surely get rid of it if any of my systems runs it.
What makes a computer is its processor,the processor is the unit which determins the rate of execution of program on the computer.
For me, I still noticed a lot of people pressing for Motherboard with INTEL processor than an AMD and I really wonder why since hardly do you notice any difference between them.
Based on your experience, which one do you prefer and which one has handled your tasks well?

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
