Currently the top of the line AMD beats the top of the line Intel because they specifically write code into the chip to handle games. The reality is that the CPU is not the biggest problem. Many people buy a fast CPU only to find that they Video RAM or the system RAM is inadequet. That or the Bus speed is too slow and the CPU is waiting for commands while they are moving down a pipe that is too slow to feed the processor. Don't just look for the CPU but look for the whole system.

The best CPU configuration for gaming would be a AMD turion 64 x2 processor with a 2 GB RAM and a 512 MB Radeon express graphics card

AMD Opteron dual cores or the FX-72 socket F.
Socket 775 is a dead end that intel has maxed out. The concept of Frontside bus is outdated.
