Is Intel Core I7 930 2.80 Ghz as good or better option than AMD

[eculp]

I've always been an AMD fan but am getting the idea that they are  
loosing their edge.  So my question if the Intel Core I7 930 2.80 Ghz  
is as good and option or is their a better AMD at a similar o cheaper  
price?

I plan to install this in a GigaByte GA-X58A/UD7 motherboard with 6 Gb  
in a Cosmos-S Cooler Master cabinet with extra fans and Cooler Master  
600w power supply.

Any comments appreciated.

Please copy me on your answers.

Enjoy your weekend.
