Correct if you're comparing the top of the line AMD Phenom to your i7 (I'm drooling here). The i7 is the best there is right now but the cost of a i7 system is more than double what I just paid for my system. The fair comparison is the Phenom vs the i5. Here's a good comparison article about that:

When I was shopping around I looked at i5's but even they were around $200 more than my Phenom 6 core with only a slight performance edge so for me anyway AMD won the bang for the buck contest.
