Intel vs AMD processors

Anyone had experience comparing Intel vs AMD processors in laptops. AMD seem a lot less expensive. For lr post processing and general use are they as good?

Intel in my opinion is the best overall. I had an AMD processor in an older HP/Presario Laptop. Intel now has the Intel i9. Some say it isn't that much superior to the Intel i7. The i5 is a very good processor that is currently used in many affordable laptops and desk computers.

Over 30+ years in IT and never had an issue with Intel and compatibility. Can't say the same for AMD.

Intel processors run cooler and are the best in laptops and desktops, AMD processors run very hot, in my opinion not as well suited for laptops in desktops you can run controlled cooler systems and have better controls!

AMD works fine with LR PSE Win10. I have them in both my PC and laptop. AMD come with overclocking - if that is what you are into (mainly Games I think)
If you are running Linux then certain flavour's need a little tweaking but most I have tried accept them.
not a PC adept, just cost conscious.

AMD’s newest processors have similar performance for less $ than Intel, but the latest AMD Threaddripper CPUs do run very hot if enclosure size and cooling/or is an issue. I’ve built many machines with both Intel and AMD CPUs and have never had a failure with either.

Both are good processors. Intel is better at crunching numbers were AMD has better graphic's for gaming.

I built two computers, and I wondered the same thing, so I read a lot of articles. I went with Intel, but only because of the name. No one is going to see a difference in computer operation using one or the other. It's like looking at two pictures and guessing which was taken with a Nikon and which was taken with a Canon. If I were to build another one, I would go with AMD to save money.

The one place intel is much better is in the new breed of ultra book laptops that are very thin. Intel is easier to keep cool.

AMD stock is sure on a great run. Wish I had bought some 12 mouths ago.

I've had both intel and AMD over the years. IMHO, intel is the only way to go. Now, if I'm looking for a new computer and it's an AMD, I don't walk away... I RUN away. I have 8 laptops (mostly for business use), and ALL are intel.

You get what you pay for. I have 5 computers, one of which is an older laptop (recently retired) that had an AMD processor in it. That laptop was the worst computer I have ever had. Based on my experience with that laptop, I will NEVER buy another computer with an AMD processor in it. I'm sure many have computers with that chip that loves them. I will never own another one.
