Intel in the past has always had a better reputation for overclocking. Price/performance intel is better IMO. Although recently it seems that with the new phenoms, they overclock MUCH better than the previous ones did.

For a while AMD was producing better CPUs, but they seemed to falter with the dual cores. I'm not sure how stable each has been with respect to overclocking, but I'm not certain I'd use "always" in that sentence.
