AMD will beat out p4 easily clock for clock. But Intel never intended the P4 to have a high IPC(Instructions Per Clock). When you overclock you really notice the difference especially at higher front side bus speeds(133+, current stock speeds are 100 and in the next month intel is releasing new proces with 133 stock bus speed), couple that with some high performing rdram or ddr and the p4 will start performing like a champ. Right now an overclocked p4 will easily beat an overclocked athlon. But at stock speeds the athlon will whup it.
