Depends on WHICH INTEL DUAL CORE you're talking about. Please be more specific.
Irrespective of GPU, all 2nd gen intel CPUs beat the hell out of AMD counterparts in gaming arena. If you're talking of IGP, then Llano is ahead of HD3000, but HD4000 again beats it easily.

Not as easily as you're saying it. Till now only the 500$ mobile Ivy Bridge HD4000 and the 300$ desktop Ivy Bridge quad-cores with HD4000 beat Llano's IGP decisively.

when will trinity launch?????????//
Are you talking about the IGP + CPU performance OR discrete GPU + CPU performance.
Intel outperforms AMD CPU's with a discrete GPU; whilst AMD's IGP + CPU = APU formula is simply unbeatable on the other end.
This is the scheduled launch time-period that AMD has set for Trinity desktop chips to arrive on scene -- June --> August but various reports site that it might be pushed back to the October --> December time frame.
Hope this helps, Cheerio!!
Very application dependent, on the grand scale of things the AMD Trinity chips are better performers for the casual / light fidelity gamer + day-to-day computer user.
Also the Intel graphics drivers are nothing to write home about, whereas AMD has got its Catalyst suite.

I already said in gaming (irrespective of GPU, not "excluding" it), an i3 almost beats even 1075T ; not to mention phenom quad cores are handily beaten. The latter goes ahead in multi threaded apps. And why are you quoting Trinity here? Its totally different thing, and doesn't makes sense here.

Also point to be noted is that a dedicated GPU's would be performing much better then an APU even if one spends a little more only...
This holds true even in the case of a much limited Pentium Dual Core G620 which is a heavily limited Sandybridge but when paired with a GPU it decimates the AMD offerings in the same price range with a dedicated GPU... This holds true for other better chips from Intel as well...

Well because OP originally wanted an IGP based solution in his limited budget. Trinity is supposed to ship ~mid June [if AMD does not rollback]. And if you look at OP's posts he is definitely inclined towards the Llano OR Trinity setup.
In a IGP battle Llano toasts Sandy-Bridge and even the newer Intel Ivy-Bridges although the HD 4000 equipped models close the gap; if you want an integrated package in a tight budget you cannot go wrong with the AMD APU offerings [either the 1st OR 2nd generation].
I do agree that once you toss in a discrete graphics card into the mix; a Core i3 2100 is head-to-head with the FX-8120 in gaming performance. Heck @Bikenstein was running a GTX 580 + Pentium G620 and getting decent frames on Battlefield 3.
