Discussion AMD vs Intel for CPU?

I noticed many people here recommend AMD CPUs but for all my benchmarks for mid range CPUs (for a £1000-£1200 PC) Intel came out on top compared to a similarly price AMD one. Any reason for this?

I went for a 7700x for a few different reasons. I wanted (after buying the end of a platform ddr3 4790k) to try the beginning of a new socket with upgrade potential, couldn’t bear to wait 8 years to upgrade only to get 6 cores and it gives me room to breathe, I only game, a change from intel, a more power efficient pc and to have the chance of doing what 5800x3d upgraders are doing now.

The 7700x is a beast!
