True that, although once you're in the 2+ gig territory, ram and HD speed becomes more critical than processor speed.
I'm referring mainly to daily turn news story editing (i.e. very few if any dissolves/effects), although I've done longform pieces on both my system and the station's intel and still didn't see any performance hit. From a pure cost/benefit standpoint, I'd go AMD even for video editing. The MINOR hit you take in clock cycles isn't really noticible, and certainly isn't worth spending more money on the chip like you'd have to with Intel - I'd rather take that money and pump it into ram/HD.
