The AMD 5000+ Black Edition is (at stock) a better real world performer than even a C2D E6420 (at stock).
3DMark06 CPU Test :
5000+ (65nm) = 1917 3DMarks w/ stock speeds and memory slightly underclocked @ 742MHz
C2D E6420 (conroe) = 1885 w/ stock speeds and memory running full speed @ 800MHz
C2D E6400 (allendale) = 1858 w/ stock speeds and memory running full speed @ 800MHz
Now, the C2D is definitely better once you start overclocking and most newer C2Ds have much more headroom for overclocking as well. So, I'd guess that a 5000+ with a 3.6GHz OC would roughly equal the real world performance of a stock C2D Extreme X6800 or so.
Also, Hat has a real good point with the price vs performance margin with these chips as well. At the bottom to mid range price market (where the majority of mainstream business is done), AMD still has the crown and this will only strengthen with the release of the Toliman and Kuma core Phenoms that are due out shortly.

I was almost expecting some not-so-constructive critisizim!
