Good point. Nothing from Intel at a similar price comes close. But that is
not what the comparison is. The comparison is based on "performance"
between both competitor's top-line chips. In no way am I saying that
Intel's latest is as fast as the latest form AMD. What I am saying is that
I doubt seriously if, given the same GPU and memory config, you will notice
a difference in everyday apps.

I doubt that many buyers care what the performance is of the
top offerings from either company. It's quite rare for
someone to pay in excess of $800 for a single desktop/PC
CPU, even if they'd spend $400 for a video card.
