compare intel core 2 dual processor with other processor like AMD?

i prefer AMD since i am using one.I use AMD because -comparatively cheap -high performance -high stabilty,efficiency -greater support for gaming i recommned AMD FX 64 bit computing.It has many advantage over intel pentium 4 processors.but i heard that intel pentium duo core2 is much better than other precedures and a like performance with AMD 64.so i f you are going to buy a new computer either you go for AMD FX 64 or Pentium 4 Duo core 2.
