Tom's Hardware Guide has been doing a stress test on the Athlon 64 3500 and the Pentium 4 3.6GHz. The test will last 7 days. Both are out of a case to give the retail heatsinks the coolest air to cool the CPUs with. The two systems have the same video card and are running 3DMark05. Here are the AMD and Intel results.
From the time I posted this, the Intel system has crashed twice while the AMD system has remained crash-free. Remember, there is no overclocking being done and the CPUs are using their own retail heatsinks in an open environment.
UPDATE:
The AMD system has finally crashed. But remember, the Intel system has alreay crashed 3 times by now.
