In terms of CPU performance, the Core i7 920 definitely outpaces AMD's new Phenom II in arithmetic, although the X4 940 puts up very competitive numbers in multimedia performance (especially when overclocked). The Phenom II also delivers about 10 GB/s of memory bandwidth from its dual channel DDR2 interface, whereas the Core i7 920 delivers about 24 GB/s from its triple-channel DDR3 interface.
