Is a HP with AMD Turion 64x2 better than a Toshiba with Intel Core 2 Duo processor?

Can someone please explain the difference between AMD and Intel processors? Here's a comparison link between the two laptops if you want to see other features... http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/compare.do?poids=175651,176435&prevPage=categorylist.do&catOid=-12963&nstr=20012961%2020012963%205093%20312963001&Ns=cust_rating_overall_avg|1&link=ref

1. This particulare Core 2 Duo is much better than the AMD you are comparing it too. Plus it has a bigger screen and is a bit cheaper, so the choice in this case should be very easy.
2. Look Intel is better than AMD but for daily work AMD does the job for less price than an Intel will do it. If you go for a notebook for download music, pictures movies and surf the web an AMD processor will do an excellent work for a better price but if you need a processor to handle more heavy task like editing programs go for Intel, remember the amount of RAM is as important as the processor itself, also the HDD speed and some other stuff like the OS you're running, you can set up a notebook with an AMD 64X2 processor and 2GB of RAM for a decent price o to bestbuy.com and see the difference. A TL52 is a nice processor.
