The benchmarks clearly show that AMD is just now catching up to where Intel was two years ago. Yes the Core i7 setup will cost more but the performance slays the Dragon

The new AMD quadcores aren't competing with the I7s. Take the amount of money it takes to buy the new AMD Phenom II quadcores, buy a Core 2 Quad with it, and the Phenom II will at least be on par with it, even slightly better in some tests. It's about the price to performance ratio, not just who can release the fastest CPU in the world.
