Because both are the current top-of-the-line products for Intel and AMD?

The intel is like 500MHz faster than the AMD......of course the intel will win most things.

The P4 2,0GHz was almost 500MHz faster than the Athlon XP1800+, still the AMD beat it in the benchmarks.
Intel's processors may have a higher clockspeed, the AMD processors have a much higher ipc (instructions per clockcycle), which means they need a lower amount of MHz to attain the same performance.
