Intel, in a landslide. It's faster than the Phenom in every category (save for some instances of video encoding), is more energy efficient at stock speeds and overclocks better. The best aspect of AMD right now is its superior motherboards and chipsets, but that's more in the realm of HTPCs and budget dual-cores, not the power-hungry Phenom.
