AMD below $150 or if you would prefer many slower cores to fewer faster ones, Intel otherwise.
I'm hoping AMD will pull round next year and be competitive again, due to Bulldozer, Bobcat and Llano. The first two are new architectures against known targets of Sandy Bridge (which is 15-20% faster than Nehalem per clock) and Atom respectively. The latter one will use existing cores with an HD55xx class GPU on-die.
