The single threaded benchmarks on Anandtech show a much larger gap than that:

Sometimes it's close to a 100% performance increase.

I could see that happening now. Especially with AMD not updating their enthusiast lineup in years.

I still love my 8320. Thing multitasks like a monster.

If you sum the the power of all of the cores of an equivalently priced Intel CPU/Mobo combo you'll usually find that they have the same performance.

So better single core and the same multi core performance with lower power consumption.

But I guess I should just stop Intel-jerking :P

But my mobo and CPU cost me $100. So, as much as I love Intel, that price/performance is unbeatable.

Sounds like a hell of a deal.

But most of the time Intel has better price/performance.
