I'd say clock for clock the 920 just edges it in ppd but the X6 runs a lot cooler...


I am running both setups, albeit at different Mhz, but I think that if they are at the same Mhz and the ram and other items were the same it would be pretty damn close. From a cost stand point the AMD wins out since you can get a $60 MB with built in video and only have to use dual channel ram versus triple, so it can add up to quite a bit of upfront coin in savings going AMD. I think AMD is starting to get competitive again, although from a strictly performance stand point the I7 x58 is the top dog still, but the AMD platform is definitely one to consider on a budget.
