That's one of those, "you really need to ask?!" kinda questions. AMD smokes Intel chips pretty much across the board. There are some exceptions, like the lower cost (but lower powered) dual core chips Intel came out with are great for most people but the expensive AMD dual core chips are more powerful AND they are faster for "single core" applications which is pretty much everything out there.

Pentium chips consume more power and run hotter than AMD chips which are far more efficient. Except for Pentium M chips which are intended for laptops and there's not much in terms of boards out there to support them for desktop useage just yet. The Pentium Ms are better processors than P4s with great speed at lower wattages and far less heat output. It'll be nice to see them used more in desktops.

Intel's biggest advantage is offering huge discounts to sellers like Dell for using their entire line of chips exclusively - not creating superior chips.
