I'm unable to make a comparison with the Intel setup but I run a bulldozer that might at least give you some numbers to look at.

There's my charts and here's my computer setup:

AMD FX-8120
Core Speed 4310.1 MHz
Memory Type DDR3
Memory Size 16384 MBytes
Channels Dual
*Part number BLS4G3D1609DS1S00.
Mainboard Model SABERTOOTH 990FX (0x0000045B - 0xEA31EDC0)
Display adapter 0
Name AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Memory size 1024 MB
GPU ref clock 27000
Windows Version Microsoft Windows 7 (6.1) Home Premium Edition 64-bit Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)



I like the computer a ton. My main usage is to run my boinc numbers. It does run hot. Hot. I'm thinking about liquid cooling because even sitting in an open door with 30° F air coming in the CPU still runs at 70° C with boinc on at 100%.

I love it, wouldn't change my decision to go AMD with this solution even though the temps run alarmingly high.
