Stress testing is not a bad idea as such, but only an idiot would make it an intel versus AMD match, when any outage is most likely due to either:
1 The PSU
2 the memory (possibly being hit by cosmic radiation)
3 the motherboard
4 the software
I'd also WAG you'd need at least 100 systems to get a statistically meaningfull result, combining different PSU/MB/memory configurations. And you'd need to put them in nuclear proof shelter with the cleanest DC power possible (or at least monitor it). As it is, this test will tell you: nothing. Bur hey, its THG, so what would you expect :|

I'll bear this in mind next time I make a hardware purchase, for sure!
