    I recall seeing benchmark tests posted on here a year or two ago, the Core 2 Duo outperformed the AMD x2 in all tests IIRC. My desktop unit is a AMD x2 5000+ and my laptop is a Intel Core2Duo 2.53Ghz 6MB cache. TBH the AMD is sufficient for any CPU intensive tasks I use it for, not tested the C2D properly yet though.
