If we compare the data between the six cores Home processor, that is :-
1. Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition
2. AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
Intel has extreme edition, which has naturally extreme price...($1k, I will rather buy a full AMD setup:p). AMD has launched it as its regular lineup.
Due to being extreme edition, it is natural for intel to have an upperhand on AMD, but AMD is at par atleast...So, performance is not that much differ between them.
If we discuss price, we do not require to discuss it...
Intel's i7 uses a whole different architecture, so mobo is an issue, while AMD has somewhere around 170+ supportive mobo's....
As overclocking is concerned, i7 is very unstable in 4+ GHz, while in AMD, it is just like butter, as it is a black edition...It has base clock of 200 MHz and clock multiplier can be extended upto 20 times, so at stock, max speed is itself 4 GHz...
If I forgot about some point, do remind me....
