The AMD is 64-bit, the Intel is 32-bit.
To put it in as simple terms as possible, you can double the Ghz of the AMD to compare it equally (that's not really true, but for laymen's sake it makes an easier comparison). So the AMD is a 3.6-4.0GHz, and the Intel is 3.2GHz.
If 64-bit is at all a possibility go with it. There's simply no alternative. Not doing it when you can is like putting a Floppy drive in your PC instead of a CD or DVD drive.
