The e4300 seems closer performance wise to a 4600+ than a 3800+. The 4600+ is almost the same price as the e4300.
So while AMD has cheaper processors that doesn't mean they are a better bang for the buck. To be honest if you have no use for the performance then just buy a used system of some sort.
So what Intel processor can you buy - with motherboard - that will be faster than that 3800+ at that price? You have to spend MORE. It was his fault for claiming "equivalent", but it's better at that price than anything Intel can offer at that price. If you want to spend more than that, Intel all the way, that price of lower, and unless you are either stupid, or an Intel fanboy, you should get an AMD product.
