I really dislike Intel's corporate working practises though.

Gotta admit with that! They always have an inkling of other CPU manufacturers, way back before the Pentium series was introduced, Intel sued another manufacturer at the time named Cyrix (which later merged itself with semi-conductor) for copying their newest chip design though the trial ended in Cyrix's favour.
Back to the 21st century however, I think that the Core 2 Duo series even out performs the Phenom X3 series in some cases

Clock for clock, the Thoroughbred and Barton AthlonXP's outdid the P4's, but once Intel started producing 2.5ghz+ processors, the K7 cores couldn't keep up anymore. which is why AMD dropped development of the K7 3400+ and pushed funds into K8 development.

On the overall I think, the P4 Prescott (and some Northwood) chips can easily out perform any single cored Athlon out there. btw why didn't Intel create such a hype on the release of their Pentium EE and Pentium D series?
