I want to compare CPU of Intel and AMD to each other.
Which one is your preference and why?

I choose AMD.
Why?:
Cheaper
Can be just as well as Intel depending on which you get of course.
I'm a fan boy of AMD at this time because it never let me down.. and i only have AMD C-50: 2 core it reaches 105.9 MHz at times according to Speccy.. That is plenty for me.

Then again, it comes down to personal choice. Have a look here:

Yes, it looks like AMD is cheaper than Intel. But I never used it. What do you do on your Computer? Do you use virtualisation programs and some heavy programs?

I use VMware with no problem along side Windows 7 home premium. My RAM upgrade gave me a big boost for running them big programs though. I now have 5GB of RAM.
Some other big programs i run are... GIMP, IMVU Client, Google SketchUp 8, and Camtasia.
My CPU gets a lot of working out i can say though, but nothing it has not handled.

Can you tell me what you will use the computer for?
I prefer intel at the moment since they use less watts and you get far more performance. i7-2600K with default settings uses 90W as max but I have seen 70W as well and this is at full load. Look at benchmarks.
AMD's APU (cpu + gpu) might be for overall use better but not if performance is preferred; the gpu is very good. Depends on your needs and how much you're willing to spend. the apu's are the best and cheapest option amd offers; bulldozer, a octa-core, uses 130W and before in many applications as a Phenom X6 if all cores aren't used. The bulldozer is also as expensive as i5-2500K where i5 only has four cores/threads compared to eight cores/threads.
When it comes to laptops I definitely recommend intel; you get more value from them and a faster computer. AMD's apu are running at low frequencies (1,4-1,9GHz). For budget gaming the apu might be a better choice if the intel laptop doesn't have dedicated graphics.
In a benchmark my i72630qm beats Phenom II X6 T1100 (40W vs 130W). I will once compare and see how well my i7 does compared to the phenom II X6.
Summary: The budget limits your options. If you want to be as economic as possible then AMD otherwise intel. I personally prefer to spend a bit more but that will last a few years rather than spending money more frequent; I will save myself a lot of nerves and headaches since.

I choose Inel because of the experience that I have had with it. In my laptop I have had to get it repaired countless times and it is getting annoying, but my current computer with a Intel CPU I have had no trouble with it at all.

Intel's products are more expensive than AMD's, however, from what I can tell, they're more quality.
AMD's products aren't really as quality as Intel's, but are less expensive. If you want a good bang for your money, I'd get an AMD Athlon II X3-X4.

I personally tried going AMD, but they get very hot, i had a 955 BE, it was a great processor, great for gaming, but intel absolutely smashes for future things, theres always a benifit of having Intel no matter what, yes there cheap, but intel has a higher performance all round compared to amd, whom which is really based on gaming, as anything else has a very big difference compared to intel, ive done benchmarks on the CPU's and i would only ever go AMD IF I HAD TO NO MATTER WHAT, i am by all means on an average persons budget, but i save up and get what i really need
Just personal opinion, not trying to start a flame war, haha

intel cpu aren't that expensive as they use to be. 200$ is okey for high-end (i5-2500(K) is ranked as high-end).

I choose Intel.
reason: We can resell at a price not too lower.
such, we want to upgrade, we can sell the old CPU, and only added a bit money (according to how much do you upgrade)
example: from core 2 duo to core i5 or i7.
My cousin was like a desktop.

^ that sorta made sense, are you not naturally english speaking?
I don't care about Brandings, you work well, i will buy it and most likely rebuy, that's how i like it.
not dedi to any one company.
but if i'm low on cash, AMD, as i can expect results and lesser, ki blast to my wallet.
