AFAIK, highest Intel frequency is like 3.46 Ghz, while highest AMD frequency is 2.8 Ghz.

By the way, as an interesting experience: I've made a small 3D software engine (for TMDC compo) and apparently, two-year old P4 2.4 Ghz seemed to work faster (mostly SSE/SSE2 instructions) than AMD Athlon 64 3000+.
