wait a minute people. we're talking about legacy chips here, way before AMD hit their stride. I think you will all find that modern amd CPUs and compatible chipsets are embarassing Intel, while AMD's marketing has much to be desired. Now, I'f you're testing older systems, then there's no doubt that Intel was on top. but there's little doubt that AMD is taking over (if they could just make some headway on laptops...)
