Ok, that's enough to clearly crown P4 as the champ. I didn't pick these numbers for the purpose of making P4 look better, all of the benchmarks between these two processors are in P4s favor. And don't give the price argument, because it's also slightly in Intel's favor. Another key thing I left out is AMD still has heat issues that Pentiums are pretty much free of. My last 3 computers were AMDs, but based on these numbers and some word of mouth, I switched with the new one. Works great. I'll put it to good use when Hl2 comes out (still need to upgrade the video, card though).

1. Tom's Hardware is typically very Intel biased. Take their reviews with a grain of salt.
2. AMD does not have heat issues. In fact, Intel has heat issues. A Barton 3000+ produces about 75watts at stock, while a 3.06 P4 produces 100watts at stock. Just a heads up.
