Intel Corp (INTC)

That's a bit of an odd list as you have the better performing 2.2 Ghz part selling less than Intel's slower parts.

I would guess that the 5600+ is competitive with the 4600+ and the 6000+ a tad faster you're using much more power than the E4600 and I'm guess that there's a lot more headroom with the Intel part. Here we say that the high-end of AMD's line is competitive with Intel's economy line. When I say the economy line, it's not the very low-end but the lower half of mainstream. It's hard to describe processor markets these days as the high-end is moving up so quickly. The 6550 is probably the bottom of Intel's mid-range but I think that it's quite a nice bump in performance off the E* line.

I have yet to play with an E67* part. You usually don't see those in CompUSA.
