I can't answer your question with empirical evidence, but I'm just about 
to  buy a large-ish AMD-based system due to what I've read on this list 
and elsewhere for a couple years.  I'm going this way in part because I 
feel that AMD has a more correct virtualization implementation, in the 
same way that they have a more correct quad-core implementation, and in 
part because their 2- and 4-socket quad-core chips are an incredible 
value relative to Intel's chips 
(http://anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=3091&p=2) - assuming 
top-performance isn't your goal...  Besides, its fun to support the 
underdog  ;)
Best,
Kent
