I dunno about your pricing, but I'm seeing AMD Athlon 3800s here selling - with dual core costing only $20 more. In that case I'd go for it.
In a laptop - I'm not sure. I didn't think that AMD had the same power reduction stuff as Intel (but I also got the impression that they didn't need it as much). Anyways... for myself, I really only use a laptop plugged in to mains anyway.
