The age old question.

AMD gets you more performance for your money and a longer lifespan out of your mobo

Intel gets you more performance per watt and their CPUs get way more efficient over time

So, as with any unqualified question about computers, the answer is "it depends".

I think it's ******** hilarious.

My vote is on OpenRISC.

Very well then. I shall introduce Cyrix into the fray.

Oh s**t, now that's a blast from the past. They really didn't last long.

I make a vote on CISC CPUs because I love complex instructions.

I'll get my coat.

AMD. I've had bad 2 different Intel CPUs and both couldn't handle the work load and died before they were 1 year old.

No CPU simply dies because of too much work. Maybe the cooling was defect/insufficient.

How can there not be enough cooling? The AMD computer that I built used the same case using the same fans ontop of the CPU drew more power but ran cooler.

I never overclock so I know that's not the problem.

Companies sometimes cheap out on cooling fans, using fans that are inadequate for the job.

Different CPUs run at different temperatures and thus require different cooling. That's why the mobile lines of CPUs were devised - to run cooler and thus cause less "oh ******** my lap is on fire" type issues.

Interesting but they were desktop computers

Very highly unlikely that those processors died in any way. The hard drive dying on the other hand is far more likely. Also, Intel introduced safety features into their processors long before AMD.

There's a famous video from Tom's Hardware where they run an Intel and AMD processor without a heatsink to see what happens. The Intel system downclocks like crazy if not shuts itself off but it walks away from that just fine. Meanwhile the AMD chip fries itself.

Dismissing ARM is such a short sighted thing to do. Intel certainly isn't doing it anymore.
