I've got my marshmallows out.

Ha... thanks to the way P95 is optimised, I've bought only Intel processors for the last 5 years! Total of 4 Pentium 4s, 1 E6400, 1 Q6600 and 1 E5200!

And from the way the benchmarks are looking, the next one is likely to be an Intel i7.

as far as i am aware prime95 has been optimised for both cpus
intels just happen to have an internal design feature that makes them do lucas lehmer tests twice as fast(some info from an expert would be nice)
if you try trial factoring on prime95 then i think you will find amds are faster
