Amazing, we're talking anywhere from 20% improvement to 40%.
Lets try hotlinking them.

Well I just found
this one news on Techreport, and it turned out that AnandTech,
among other things, had inadvertently configured the AMD system with a higher resolution in FEAR. When they ran the test again, the average advantage is merely 22.5%. Only in DivX 6.1 test Conroe showed performance advantage greater than 31%

Let me expand on that.
The AMD PC, was a dual core FX-60, overclocked to 2.8GHZ, running on a top end ATi motherboard of the R480 family. It was paired with a monster GPU.
The Intel rig, was running on a PRE-production CPU, with a motherboard thats probebly in its first time outside a factory test rig, with very new drivers.
The comeback will be: AM2. But realisticly, what does AM2 give AMD? It gives it DDR2, which as proven by Anandtech.com benchmarks, is a slight improvement, since AMD is latency dependent and the DDR2 upgrade is far more for servers.
