Maybe, but when you bring price into the calculation AMD isn't always the obvious choise. Besides, when you need benchmarks (some who can be questioned) to tell a difference, AMD's superiority is even more undermined.

Yeah, ok.
$1059 - Pentium 4EE 3.73ghz
$995 - Athlon 64 FX-57
Can you answer to that?

"It is not particularly surprising to see the Athlon 64 FX-57 outperform its single core competitors. The 2.8 GHz part is even powerful enough to compete with fast Intel Pentium 4 processors in their best areas, such as video or audio encoding or rendering tasks."
Now I know it's comparing against a 3.6GHz P4, which is slower than the 3.73 EE, but the performance increase with the EE would still not be able to match AMD.
