Well, Intel has working quad-core CPU's. AMD tends to be better 
performance at lower CPU speeds, and lower power consumption, and thus 
better cooling. Many big vendors sell either at similar prices, but 
having one CPU core to dedicate to each guest domain can be handy. I 
personally prefer AMD due to better support for their newest features in 
the Linux world, so it's a trade-off.
