It is usually faster than equivallent MHz INTEL CPUs (they have the
rating to which INTEL CPU are equivallent, e.g. 1800+ etc). You can
compare prizes between an AMD "rating-speed" CPU and an Intel CPU to
decide.

For example an 1800+ AMD CPU has the same overall performance to an
INTEL 1800 MHz CPU. So you can buy the cheaper. On the other side, Intel
CPUs are the standard.

Intel on the other side is the standard.
