AMD vs intel

Hi freinds,
These are few things I read from the various sources. However any comments appreciated.

I have both AMD desktop and Intel core2 duo laptop & so i have the exprenence of both these processor. anyway, I am not a hardware expert & only working in software side but I got some argument which i like to share with you.

1. Multithreading :
question : People says AMD is not better than intel in case of multithreading why?

2. Gamming.
Why do one prefer AMD over Intel?
ans : AMD socket-939 CPUs have internal Dual Channel Memory controller which is synchronous with the CPU-FSB. Since the controller in located inside, its highly optimized and has less latency. Less latency improves speed. There are some instructions sets called 3D-Now in AMD that improves graphic-calculations. AMD finishes most of CPU-instructions performed Intel in fewer clock cycles. Thats why AMD labels a 2.0 Ghz CPU as 3200+, because it can perform as good as a n Intel CPU running at 3.2Ghz. These are some of the reasons why gamers prefer AMD than Intel

3. HTT technology
what is this ? observed only in AMD how does Intel attain this ?
ans : HTT mean hyper threading tech
4. Quantispeed
