Default Whats better?

What type of processor is better? I know that AMD's are better for gaming and intels are better for running lots of programs at once, but are AMD's still better for gaming or are intel DUAL-CORE processor's better?

I think that processor will beat out every amd processor except the FX-62 not sure though i havent looked at the benchmarks in a while so i forgot if that processor beats out every amd processor or not.

I'm sure if you were to overclock the E6300 to 2.2 Ghz, it would beat that FX 62... I plan on OCing mine to 2.9 - 3.0 Ghz
