It depends on the model of i5 processor and in which applications.
One the I5-2390T only has 2 CPU cores.

Also there are some mobile i5's

Generally the quad core i5's beat AMD's CPU's overall.

Here is a comparison between the i5-2500K (best i5 version) and the fastest AMD 6 core CPU

now between the i5-2500K and the 2nd fastest AMD 4 core CPU (the 975 isn't benchmarked there yet-only a little faster)
