Found these articles on the net. Of course some of the benchmarks aren't
that reliable, due to the fact of how software is compiled, compile
flags in Gentoo, and options passed to that program when ran.
AMD 64-bit vs. Intel 64-bit

AMD 64-bit Dual Core Benchmarks

I couldn't find any information on the duo on linuxhardware.org, but I
may not have looked deep enough. Just remember, like sound
equipment(especially speakers), compare before buying.

I want to get my two cents in. Get an AMD 64-bit X2. The X2 is the
dual-core series of AMD, if I'm not mistaken. Also keep in mind Intel
keeps stealing stuff from AMD, such as the 64-bit technology. They
just basically get their hands on an AMD processor, figure out how it
works, and make their own. One piece of evidence is that AMD came out
with the first 64-bit x86 processor. Not to mention AMD should be a
little bit cheaper and more powerful. If you want some real fun, find
a motherboard that supports two of them. Dual dual-core processors.
I'm not sure if they even make these. heh heh, That would be some
serious horsepower.

Get Intel core2duo. Not only has it excellent Linux
support, but it is also way faster than any AMD
processor out there. Just google for performance
reviews. You will be amazed.
