Totally depends on the individual workload on a case by case basis; since
the last price cuts the X2's are enough more expensive that I'd say in some
cases Intel is quite competitive for general use.

This is most notable for the 805, but also fairly significant for the 930
(nearly the performance of the X2 3800+, $80 cheaper) and 940 (beating the
3800+ on some benchmarks, $50 cheaper.)
