AMD is not better for gaming.

Neither are the P4's

Only way to tell which is better is comparing each chip to chip. some chip models and speeds are better then others. Certain AMD chips do better. Certain P4 chips do better.
Last AMD chip i had ran hotter, and doesnt really run games as well. Neither brand is all out better then the other, And many other factors make a difference.

I always buy AMD. I think that you get more bang for you buck. I got a 2500+ barton for $85 retail from Newegg! Sure beats $150 or more for a 2.4 intel chip.

As far as performance, I think that AMD and intel were basically on the same level until these latest chips (3000+ and above), now I think intel is on top of the performance category.

But I will still probably buy AMD just becasue they are cheaper. Of course, I won't have to upgrade for a while since I have a 2500+.
