Why is this intel cpu more expensive than this AMD cpu?

I currently have a custom computer with this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727]AMD cpu[/url]. A friend of mine is asking for advice on a CPU but wants Intel brand, I found [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115232]this one[/url] with similar specs (cores, frequency, cache) to the AMD chip, but it costs $100 more. Why? Also any recommendations are welcome

  • I'm not an expert on this, but I believe the prevailing opinion is that Intel gives you the best performance, even when specs are similar. If you're considering price point for relatively cheap chips (i.e., what's the best I can get for cheap?) then the winner is AMD.
