I suppose AMD is cheaper than Intel when comes to CPUs of the same class and performance. That is, provided that what AMD claims is somewhat accurate.
You don't need to rely on AMD's claims - just look on Tom's Hardware for an impartial look at all the various hardware components used in PC's today.

Take a look at the clock speeds used on AMD mobos these days, and compare them to equivalent performing Intel cpu's and AMD plainly spanks Intel.

An Athlon XP 2000+, for example, is clocked at 1.66 ghz, but performs like a P4-2ghz.
