The Test
With the 1333MHz vs. 1066MHz FSB issue laid to rest, the rest of this article will be a recap of AMD vs. Intel performance. We compared the E6750, E6700 and E6420 from Intel to the X2 6000+ and 5600+ from AMD. The 5600+ is closest in price to the E6420, while the 6000+ is the closest AMD offers to something at the E6700 price level.
Note that SYSMark 2007 only runs on 32-bit versions of Windows, so all of the tests for this article were conducted under Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

This will hurt Intel so don't expect to see it at this site. They wouldn't want their supply of nice new chips from Intel to dry up, would they?gigahertz20 - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
