I like AMD my self. At tomshardware they are doing a strestest. here is the link http://www.tomshardware.com/stresstest/index.html . Also tomshardware got a sempron 3100 to get about 70+ FPS on doom 3 and when overclocked to 2.16 GHz it got a little over 80 FPS. Here is the other link http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050202/index.html

And for another point of view: How do the two companies support FLOSS?
I had the impression Intel is not a friend... (eg in open BIOS)

Intel has supported open source on things ranging from graphics to chipsets to Centrino to CPUs. Intel has also put a lot of money into the Linux Defense Fund. Look it up on Google.
Also, here is an excerpt from Intel's web page

Does Intel support Open Source?
Intel has been involved with Open Source projects for a long time and intends to continue contributing to the Open Source community supporting our PC platforms, as our customers indicate the need. Intel has recently made significant financial investments into external companies involved with Linux and is developing technologies that will be adopted by IA64, which will be contributed to the Open Source community. This driver is an example of our support for the Desktop PC segment.
