high end intels are better than high end amd.

amd is only good for budget pcs

There are some cases where AMD is better, but for gaming, Intel manages to win almost all the time, even when you put an Intel quad-core against an AMD eight-core.

There are tons of benchmarks around to prove all of this. But it's not to say that AMD processors are terrible, they are very good, but Intel manages to still win.

This pretty much counters the "AMD being budget" partially:
The i7 is much greater than the AMD with a relatively same price.
The i7 having 6 cores, AMD 8. AMD having 2.1 GHz and the i7 having 3.20 GHz.
Yola²:
If you spend a certain amount of money, AMD is the right way to go.

If you have the money to buy a high end CPU, Intel is the way to go.

I have the Phenom II x4 965, and I guarantee Intel could not provide better quality and performance for $100 than that little thing.
