And AMD Phenom II x4 965 vs i3 2100: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/102?vs=289
As you see, the 2100 is only partially better PER CORE...and remember AMD Phenom x4 has 4 cores...therefore, it is overall better

Also, if you buy the Phenom II x4 965, then I recommend you just go down to the AMD Phenom II x4 955BE, because everything is exactly the same except the clock speed, but you can easily Overclock the 955BE to the same clock speed as the 965...only about $15 cheaper
