AMD is launching a new pair of processors as well as Intel with their G6950 Clarkdales. AMD provides the computer/processor market with the Phenom II x2 555 and the Athlon II x4 635. Both companies are targeting the $100 market.
As for the performance and benchmarks, you get better price-to-performance results with the AMD platform. Given the fact that the new Intel chip does not have Turbo like the Core i3, the Phenom II and Athlon II are in the lead.
The AMD chips are great in terms of stock speeds and the threaded application use and the Intel provides more room for overclocking. The only downside for AMD: not much headroom for overclocking, for Intel the stock speed. AMD also provides the ease of overclocking with a set of options: BIOS frequency and the AMD Overdrive Utility.
