AMD vs Intel for ESXi Servers

[mac1978]

Have been searching for real world comparisons between AMD and Intel processors in a VMware environment.  I am currently running AMD opterons and have a chance to upgrade server hardware and I am considering Intel.   I assume Intel would perform better (and from what I have found this is true), but I am curious what everyone's own observations have been if you have run both AMD and Intel.

Any resources that show real world performance comparisons?  Which would you go with?

I have seen both the Environments with Intel and AMD, But did not find much of a difference in performance seems they are almost same. But Intel does have a little bit ( very little ) edge over when it comes to performance.
