I totally agree.
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ $559 vs Pentium D 820 2.8GHz/800 LGA775 $249
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ $723 vs Pentium D 830 3.0GHz/800 LGA775 $339
Athlon 64 X2 4600+ $824 vs Pentium D 840 3.2GHz/800 LGA775 $552
Athlon 64 X2 4800+ $1042 Pentium D 850 3.4GHz/800 LGA775 $710
As usual, both processors have their differences and in different benchmarks still top each other.

This is not true. Look at the dual core processor family.Oroka Sempai said:Everyone that has even moderate computer hardware knowledge knows that a compairable AMD processor is always cheaper than its intel counterpart.

Anandtech said:Anandtech found that the fastest dual-core Athlon, the 4800+, and often other dual-core Athlons, typically outperformed the Intel chips on tests for single applications, such as running Adobe Photoshop or DivX.
In multitasking tests, however, the Intel chips often edged out the equivalent AMD processors. In these tests, AMD chips outscored Intel on multitasking trials that involved games, but Intel had an advantage in tests involving Web surfing or burning DVDs.
Still, the sites also cautioned against consumer euphoria. The dual-core Athlon chips range in price from $537 to $1,001, substantially more than most desktop chips on the market, while Intel's are mostly in the $241 to $730 range. Tight supplies also mean that few computers with the chips will be available until later in the year.
