People that say this usually have no actual experience with amd. I've had dozens of workstations and four servers I've built all powered by amd cpus. I do have plenty of current experience with Intel at work, but for my own business I need to be a bit more cost effective.
Explain my reasoning? What's there to explain... performance is just as good for less price. Raw ghz comparisons are not a great way to measure performance. Google it.
