AMD server CPUs currently outperform Intel on some multi-threaded benchmarks. This usually isn't a problem for people buying for peak-performance because you can always buy more CPUs to increase parallel programming speeds, but it's harder to make single threads faster. It's possible that the patches applied to fix this bug will cause some single-threaded benchmarks to change from Intel being the fastest to AMD being the fastest.
