AMD Opteron 165 vs Intel E4300

Which one is faster, E4300 at 3.15ghz or Opteron at 2.8ghz?

I know I can reach 3.15ghz on my E4300, maybe more once I change it out of the 965P-DS3 and into the Abit P35 (since the DS3 is limited to 350mhz bus, as far as I can tell).

I chose 2.8 for the AMD Opteron 165 because that seems to be the most common number I see for people who have OC'ed it. Let me know if I'm wrong though...

I'm not looking for any water cooled setups. I have a Scythe Ninja RevB on my E4300. I just want to see which one was the better choice in the ~$100 range on air, since I haven't seen any direct comparisons.

Also, clock for clock, which one is faster? Are AMD clocks worth more, or Intel clocks (ie, is a 2.8ghz intel c2d faster than a 2.8ghz amd?)
 
The Intel is definitely faster, and the difference is rather significant... although it's not like an Opteron at 2.8Ghz is slow. You made the right choice.
 
ok thanks for the responses. was just curious, and didn't do too much research when getting the e4300 (besides knowing it OC'ed well)
