intel clearly has the performance edge right now. amd is cheaper but you get what you pay for.

benchmarks ftl… you can cache anything and make it look faster than what it is.

I’m more of an amd kinda of guy. It’s basically potato potAHto. You can’t go wrong w/ either… just don’t get a celeron or anything.

AMD’s have always been great bang for you buck cpu’s and they have been going back and forth w/ intel on who has the fastest for quite some time. But AMD has always had the edge on intel in one department, and that’s price
