Top Intel processors are more or less on a par with Athlon 64/FX in gaming performance, provided one video card is used. But if you take advantage of the full AMD64 potential with nForce4 SLI and use two top NVIDIA video accelerators in SLI mode, such a system will be a champion in 3D in the majority of cases.
Yep, it will cost dearly (in the direct sense of this word), but the sector of ultimatistic highest-performance solutions is very important for the market in general — it’s actually an attribute of a prestigious trademark, a foot-hold for the advertisement and promotion of all processors. Intel has not been trying to compete for the laurels of the most effective (price/performance) Low End solution, but it will fight to the end in the top segment.
