Well benchmarks are real tricky thing here, as in general performance.
Most people know that AMD kicks ass, but if say code was optimized
blindly
for Intel chips you might be not so lucky. I'd say arrange a list of
most important
applications and search google for what people think of the chip and
software
combinations... Generic benchmarks don't show responsiveness of
hardware,
some other peculiar semi-subjective bits.
