I'm interested in the new AVX instruction set. What's the better choice: Intel's Sandy Bridge processors or the AMD Bulldozer?

Gunther,
If you want the code you design with it to have a future, go Intel as you can be sure they will not support anything that AMD introduce.

that was my impression, too. The question is: a few days ago, I was in large computer store (Saturn). There is a huge chaos in Intel's processor name scheme. Which CPU supports AVX, which not. And the salesman had no clue.

Mediamarkt/Saturn ... really not the best choice :P
I think that all of the current saled i5 and i7 processors support AVX.
