Most efficient dual core processor Intel Core Duo
Most efficient single core processor AMD Turion 64 or Intel Pentium M
Fastest single core processor AMD Athlon 64 FX-57
Fastest dual core processor AMD Athlon 64 FX-60
Cheapest dual core processor Intel Pentium D 805
Cheapest single core processor AMD Sempron
I would go for an Intel dual core for its higher overall performance

I go with AMD over Intel everytime but that's just my personal preference, same reason I choose nVIDIA over ATi everytime

AMD over Intel, graphics wise, I like both. I only went with Nvidia cos of SLi. My ATi cards have been good previously though

X2 is not as efficient as the new Core Duo chip.
I went from Intel to AMD, and my next system will be a Core Duo based system depending on what AMD pull from up there sleeves next...

I'm with however offers best value for money at the time i'm buying parts.
Thats never been intel yet but i'll swap between ati and nvidia depending on who has the vfm.
Vfm doesn't mean cheap btw, if somethin is expensive but worth it i'd still class that as vfm.

I have an AMD 64 bit San Diego. It's a socket 939 and does a very good job. However, I have never used it in 64 bit mode 
You're best off looking at dual core if you want the lates technology though.

lets be honest, most people wouldnt know the difference using an intel system compared to an amd system, only people that do raw processing, ie: CAD, 3D, Graphics, Video Editing, Music etc will notice that Intels are generally better, though you pay for it.
Saying that though, its been said that for games etc AMD systems are better...so it depends on what youre after.
My next system will be a Intel Dual Core, just for the fact that i want to run OSX as well and OSX on AMD systems is flakey

I've just started some gaming with my AMD system. It uses an ASUS mobo which overclocks itself when it needs to if I have it turned on. It's amazing, I've never had a computer that's been able to handle 3D graphics so well! I guess my GPU helps a lot too. I'm very impressed

As mentioned above, i also tend to go for AMD over Intel. just a preference.
If you choose intel, just keep away from celerons, and if you choose AMD try to keep away from sempron.
Personally, if your going to go all out, go for the X2 socket 939 
or give it a month or two and get it when the prices come back down to earth.

AMD is popular among gamers but for performance, nothing can beat Intel esp the Core Duo imo
