To make it simple, AMD offered to test their processors against Intel and Intel said, no thanks... So CNET decided to do the testing anyway...

Appication Performance? AMD
Gaming? AMD (32% faster)
Multitasking? AMD
Photo Editing? AMD
MP3 Encoding? AMD
Video Encoding? AMD
Price vs Performance? Overwhelmingly AMD

AMD is like Nasty Dollars, you should join them....
That's no longer true. The 5100-series Xeon processors and 6000-series "p4"-processors both kick AMD's ass..

I just red a lot about processors as I had to buy a new machine for video editing, and I ended up with 5100-series dual dualcore-xeon's.. AMD was superior prior to the new intels..no more.
