AMD chips are quicker than Intel at business tasks. It isn't until you start doing video compression and the like where Intel's deeper pipeline gives it an advantage.
The truth is, that deeper pipeline means more instructions need to be backed out once a dependency is encountered. Business apps just aren't optimized for these deep pipelines nor are they optimized for multiple CPU's.
Your mileage may vary, but we sell lots of systems for business users. We've been 100% AMD for years and are quite happy with them, as I'm sure you are with Intel.
