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....
Sorry bro. No longer true. Here is a recent article/test that shows Intel whooping AMD's ass. I just bought a Dual Core Extreme machine for video editing and encoding and it is faster than any other machine that I used in the past (exclusing workstation class boxes with Xeon's).
