By quite a noticeable margin, too. Check out the testing on HardOCP- they really do a good job producing quantifiable results.
I was just going to replace my last mobo when it failed, but then I saw some of the performance graphs, and was all like "So WHY is my year-old Phenom six-core the lowest-scoring chip on their test list? And why are all the better ones Intel?"
The Phenom IIs were a good series, but the first-gen i-series was just better. Then Sandy Bridge made it EVEN BETTER. Now Ivy Bridge is looking to be a bit more of the same- and the FX-series AMD chips are barely better than the Phenoms on some tests, and worse on others. Dunno how it slipped past QA, but AMD really screwed the pooch (pardon my French) this generation.
