Basic processor understanding.
Do different processes have different coding?
No, as processors have no coding since they are hardware and not software.
So Intel has better CPU coding or something?
No, as processors have no coding since they are hardware and not software.
What makes Intel different to AMD?
Some intel chips have built-in graphic accelerators which AMD processors generally do not (they except you to use a separate AMD graphic card). This makes them a very good choice for low end laptops which have no separate graphic card. Because the GPU and CPU are one one chip this also makes the more energy efficient than separate graphic cards. However this is for basic graphics (think DVD, powerpoint, youtube) and not gaming, it just lacks the power for that.
They are also designed considerably differently. Both AMD and Intel share a core instruction set but have their own unique extensions. They also focused on optimizing different instructions so the execution time of a program in clock cycles can be very different on an AMD processor compared to an Intel processor. Most good x86 compilers allow you to specify which processor type you want to optimize for and there can be quite a difference in performance although both will run it.
Generally AMD produces lower quality CPUs than Intel. They hide this by having higher clock rates or more cores but in reality lower performance instructions and bottlenecks make the gain nowhere near as large as they would like you to believe. AMD often consume more power to do the same work as well. Combined with their notorious design faults this can result in rather bad failures. That said they do often provide the most performance per unit money which is why both the PS4 uses an only AMD inside.
Intel prizes itself with the reliability and quality of its processors for the general public. Their top end range CPUs often beat AMD's by huge margines. They are also handle heat very well making them great for laptops which often lack cooling for maximum performance over extended periods. They also have a very well optimized instruction set for some computationally intensive operations (mostly related to video coding and graphics) which AMD lacks making them often the choice processor in professional industry.
A good example of the quality difference between the two is the old AMD vs Intel without a heat sink video. Although the processors show are dated now, it shows qualite clearly the difference in quality that AMD maintains. The intel processors immediatly shut back clock rate to prevent heat damage and the program even remains stable. The AMD processors catch fire (physically they burn out), logically the program, OS and computer crashes when this happens. Although one hopes AMD has sorted out this basic safety feature by now, you can be very sure Intel will still do it better.
As far as professonal performance goes, IBM still rules the market. Most banks will only use IBM for their most important servers. IBM processors are often used in game consols (I think Wii U uses one, and the Wii, Gamecube, PS3 and Xbox 360 all used one) although it seems both PS4 and the "xbox" are using AMD now to cut costs. The main problem is IBM uses PowerPC instruction set as opposed to x86 so are not suited for general home usage (you need PowerPC compiled software). To give you an idea of the performance IBM has, you are looking at 5GHz 8-core processors comming at a cost each that is several new cars. IBM always produces the best processors, Intel and AMD are only new using techniques that IBM have used for years.
