AMD vs. P4

I am making a new PC. I am leaning toward an AMD, but is there an AMD that can stand up to the P4's new 800MHz FSB processors with HT technology? If so, is the cost similiar? What is the AMD processor? If not, will AMD be making a processor to compete with the P4s?

Boogieman,
Either you are oblivious of AMD's high-end Athlon 64 CPU's or you are not really aware of its capabilities, it outperforms the P4 w/ HT period.
