You have to remember that C2D's came out like a year after X2's....so Intel had plenty of time to observe and improve on everything AMD had done....it's actually hardly impressive and shows very little personal innovation.
If I could get any processor I wanted right now, then I would got for that 6400+ Black edition, sure a C2D maybe be better for newer games or an Intel quadcore, but for older games nothing will be able to touch it.
