I would have to conclude that this is undeniably the case, at this point 
in time. It seems AMD simply have no answer to the benchmark results 
I've seen from Intel.

The nice thing as that as a result, AMD's entire product line is now 
priced *very* attractively. (Well they don't want to go under, eh?) But 
if you want serious performance, it has to be Intel, realistically...

AMD brought a completely new architecture: Phenom. It looked very 
promising... and then it arrived. And the last I heard, it features a 
whole flood of technological wizardry, yet fails to actually deliver any 
serious performance.
