I suggest you also take a look at this recent benchmark:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/index.html
It now includes dual cores, but I suspect it concentrates primary on the
AMD-Intel angle. I am not sure it does a face-to-face benchmark of dual core
and dual processors from AMD.
However, see:

Hope it helps,
Roy
