AMD can't compete on single thread performance and performance/watt. It's okay for a personal desktop and likely you'll save some bucks against Intel but for high-end desktops/workstations and servers they just can't compete at the moment.

I just picked up the AMD Vishera -- 4.2 Ghz, easily overclockable to 4.5 with a proper cooling system, for $90. For comparison, an Intel Core i3 4350 at 3.6 Ghz runs $205.
