I've never owned an AMD-based comp before, now I'm thinking about getting one.
1) Is an Intel chip actually any faster than an AMD chip with the same clock speed and # of cores? (Does AMD have anything analogous to Intel's Hyper-Threading technology?)
2) Do AMD's CPUs use the same architecture and instruction set as Intel's (x86-64)?
