AMD chips have consitently had issues in many brands, particularly HP notebooks and desktops. For whatever reason, there always seems to be a problem with systems that have AMD processors.
Intel on the other hand is consistently superior, even if the specs don't often match up with AMD. Bottom line is that Intel has the quality assurance and design to keep pumping out solid chips. AMD doesn't.
The main two manufacturers are INTEL and AMD. The 4th quoter results of 2008: INTEL - 80.96% AMD - 10.6%

AMD is the ONLY compeditor of Intel AMD
Obviously different companies, but besides that AMD processors mu go in motherboard that use an AMD socket and Intel processors must go into an Intel based socket. Intel processors seem to be a bit more expensive but Intel is on top with the newest technology. Many AMD "fans" would argue this.
They both support Windows, Linux (& other Unix variants such as BSD), and can also support Mac OS X. However, most Mac OS X use primarily Intel instead of AMD.
Intel and AMD
No. Intel and AMD use very similar instruction sets, that a separate version for each is not necessary.
Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, and Motorola Corporation.
It all depends on the specific CPU you are talking about. There are hundreds of processors made by both of these companies. There is no good answer to this.AnswerIn my experience, Intel is WAY better than AMD. My roomates have AMD's and their not impressed. Anybody that speaks of their Intel is typically happy. Intel dose not use a much power as AMD. So Intel for laptops and AMD for desktops. All in all they are both good
Celeron for Intel and Sempron for AMD
Many heatsink and fan kits are compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Check the specifications carefully, though.
Intel tends to make better processors than AMD.
