are they "better" (insert your definition of better here)? I don't know.
but to my experience they deliver the product that ultimately is the one that pay the bills. (and occasionally win some awards).
Thats great for you. I have never said Intel or Nvidia are worse than AMD or anything remotely like that.
In fact, they are great. Intel and AMD both have each other's tech in it. 64bit in Intel is AMD64 for anyone that didn't know.
However, with that said, it gets kinda annoying to see "Intel is more stable - buy that" when someone asks about an AMD cpu.
Point is both are stable, always have been stable. Even in the Bulldozer era when only insane people would buy AMD for pure performance, the AMD cpus were stable. The CPUs had poor performance vs Intel but thats about it. Intel had atrocious performance in the Athlon era. Nobody called them unstable.
