Intel are too pricy for OC purpose

AMD meant for less budget users to OC for more performance....

Stupid question,Most AMD processor like athlon64 is design for value minded and who that need next generation feature@ good price.So many of them like to overclock,and AMD FSB is higher that intel,so suitable for overclocking.And intel clockspeed is enough high and no need oc.

stupid answer

1. Athlon64 is not designed for value minded. AMD created Athlon64 to compete with Intel's Pentium4. If you're talking about value, Sempron is in AMD's value segment, to compete with Celeron..

2. AMD K8 architecture does not have FSB.

3. High FSB does not mean that it's favourable for overclocking. Even if an Intel has a high FSB, but the multi is damn locked low... most likely there will be limitation in overclocking. It then depends on how high can the northbridge (memory controller) help push the speed.

the Semprons were cheap. the A64s weren't cheap, especially the S939 variants.

the thing is we're talking about S64 / A64 only - but prior to that, we have the great T-bred Bs that were highly OCable too. they're cheap (i bought mine for RM 225 or so) and pair it with a nForce2 mobo with OCing features (NF7-S, 8RDA+, A7N8X, DFI LP so on so forth) and wow........ 1466mhz processor running at 2.2ghz++ or more!!

Intels aren't that bad either, take the P4 2.4C on boards like IS7 / IC7 - they're nice to OC too. just that the P4 parts tend to be more pricey, so people opt for the AMDs.

u wan me to explain by words?
is better u take a look on this link:

i have no idea what r u looking for?

1. The A64 does not have FSB. Some models are multiplier locked.
2. It depends. The E6300/6400 are great overclockers.
