AMD CPU and Intel Equivalent?

ok, Because I read that the Phenom II X4 840 used less power. Or so I thought. and on the box it says for advanced HD performance and on the Athlon II X4 650 Is says For Superior Multitasking.

Are these exactly the same? Because if they are I'm going to get the Athlon because it's a little cheaper. But if the Phenom II X4 840 is better in any way I'll get that. I can spare a few £ for it.
 
The Phenom II X4 840 runs at 3.2GHZ and the Athlon II X4 645 at 3.1GHZ so if you can get a Phenom II X4 840 for around £80 it is worth the price.

However,the 3.2GHZ Athlon II X3 450 can be had for around £58 and is basically a Phenom II X4 840 with one less core.

It matters what you want your cpu for, there's a good one in every price range for every application at the moment we are living in good times :) and at the moment i cant think of a current "bad" cpu, the problem is applications are struggling to keep up with hardware and a 4 year old quad can still hold its own :)
