You have to look for them, but there are benchmarks where AMD outperforms significantly. I cant find the Linux compilation benchmark now, but the difference was not small.

The Bulldozer really did have a big advantage in integer throughput per dollar, but that does not translate to a 2x speedup in pretty much any benchmark. FP throughput on the other hand shows up a lot.
