Simple version is that any Athlon II or Phenom II under about $180 is faster than its similarly priced Intel counterpart.
In terms of performance (but the AMD one is cheaper so better value):
Athlon II X3 425 = Intel E6300
Athlon II X4 620 = Intel Q8200
Phenom II X3 720 = Intel E8400
Phenom II X4 925 = Intel Q8300
Phenom II X4 945 = Intel Q9400
Phenom II X4 955 = Intel Q9500
Phenom II X4 965 = Intel Q9550
