AMD takes bigger data packets at a time.
Intel takes smaller data packets, quicker.
So, a slower AMD runs just as fast, as a Intel, and costs considerably less.
I happen to know at least 5 people with a AMD chip that is supposed to be clocked at 1.6 Ghz, and constantly overclock them to 2.3 or better. Never a problem, runs cool.

Is this bad? Not really, they are just designed differently. Intel got a rep for being hot. The new 9XX P-Ds and the upcoming Conroe are just as cool as a comparative AMD. (Actually, I think that Conroe will be cooler)
It's not a stretch to get an A64 to OC to the 2.4-2.7 range. Some go up to 3.0ish. But a comparative Intel will usually clock just as high.
As far as cost, yes the single core A64s are usually the best for the money. But in the dual core field, you can take a P-D 920 and OC it to perform at the same level as an OCed X2 4800. The 920 is considerably less expensive.

Bottom line-Comparable chips from Intel and AMD won't be distingishable without benchmarks. AMD single cores tend to be lower priced than than Intels and vice versa for dual cores.

Whoever asked if the extra L2 cache on the Pentium 4's work, in some ways, yes, in some other ways, no. It gives the processor extra high speed memory in lower amounts, giving it an advantage in applications that use the same types of code over and over.
