AMD Hexcore route vs. the Intel Core i7

[grow14me2]

I am thinking about getting a new motherboard/CPU/memory - and I want to know if I should go the AMD Hexcore route vs. the Intel Core i7 route.

Which will give me the most speed for the dollar?

i7 definately has better benchmark results. If you have a tight budget then go with the AMD, and get a better gfx card. Otherwise spring for the i7. They still beat the hexcores.
