No real difference in quality. AMD has lost the performance and heat crown to Intel in recent years, and while AMD is improving lately the Intel is probably a better bet for better performance overall.

If you heavily do things like video encoding, Photoshop, or other things that can leverage the additional 2 processors of the Phenom then the AMD might be a better buy, but it would have to be pretty significant.
